In the US the predominant color is white. Dunno why, most common reason is
cool in the summer, but that seems a southern US reason. Yanks paint 'em
darker blue or green, Mainiacs paint 'em really, really dark blue or green
:-)
Personally I paint mine whatever color is on sale for cheap, cheap, cheap at
the mismatched color counter. I've gotten top grade $24/gallon paint for
$2. The bees don't mind booger green hives!
