In the military, you don't have a choice.  I *choose* to wear
black when I'll be engaged in activities that would make a mess
of a white shirt (e.g., a brake job); and white when doing things
that would make a mess of a black shirt (e.g., baking).

Of course, there are times when I get exactly out of phase
and end up with a big mess!  :<

And, quite amusing when folks see me in something unexpected
(e.g., today I have a bright red shirt on  :> )

Actually, I liked qedx -- in its day.  :-/  Nowadays, it would
never work for my needs, though.
