Hi All,
My thoughts are that back in the good old days of hand loading,  the color
green was easy on your eyes.  Staring at a board all day is hard on your
eyes.  The color green is a very soothing color.
enjoy your day.

Subject: [TN] Why are soldermasks green?


> I was recently asked by a college student working on a research project,

> question "is there a reason why soldermasks are green?" To this question I
> had no answer and therefore turn to this forum to see if anybody might
know
> the reason (I wouldn't want a student to not graduate because of me).
