A chimney painted white and black historically indicated that the house was associated with a specific trade, particularly in areas where coal was used for heating. The black paint often represented soot or pollution from the coal, while the white paint symbolized cleanliness or the need for maintenance. This color scheme helped distinguish homes or buildings in urban areas, particularly during the Industrial Revolution when coal use was prevalent. In some contexts, it also served as a visual cue for firefighters to identify potential hazards.
