It is best to wear a red top color for a renal panel blood test as it helps to keep a standard and supports the labs in generating accurate results.
A lavender/purple top tube is typically used for renal function tests. This tube contains the anticoagulant EDTA, which helps preserve the blood sample for testing.

A renal panel is typically drawn in a green or tiger-top tube, which contains a gel separator to separate serum from cells after centrifugation. It is important to follow the specific instructions of the laboratory or facility where the blood test is being done.
The top tube used for a hepatic function panel is typically a gold or tiger top tube. These tubes contain a gel separator and clot activator, which help separate serum from the blood cells and promote clotting. They are used to collect blood samples for liver function tests as they preserve the serum for analysis.

A basic metabolic panel typically requires a serum separator tube (SST) or a lithium heparin tube for blood collection. These tubes are typically gold or red-gray in color.
