Short answer. Color codes help patients and staff identify roles at a glance. If your unit assigns a color, that is the uniform. If not, the choice is yours.
Typical patterns
Navy for nurses, another solid for techs, something else for support staff — it varies by system. Never assume another hospital uses your old code.
Travel nurses
Own a navy set that works almost everywhere, then add the local required color once you have the offer letter.
