Do they make white electrical tape?
 

I have red - green - blue - orange - yellow - black. I need white
electrical tape. Currently I am using a piece of colored electrical tape
to do a job and it works well - but the object being taped it white and
it would look nicer with white electrical tape.

Yes they make it - Do a google search.

Look on the shelves at Home Depot or Lowe's. It's right next to the black
electrical tape.

Warning Will Robson,,,, marking tape is not electrical insulating tape,
usually
White marking tape turns yellow pretty fast in the sun. 1-2 years.

They definately do.. I have some at home, which I had picked up at HD a
while back.

It depends on the manufacturer, some tapes are intended to be used for
color-coding only, while others are intended for insulation as well.

I prefer Scotch 35, which is a dual purpose tape.

exerpt from the 3M website

Scotch(R) 35 Vinyl Electrical Color Coding Tape is a 7 mil premium grade
electrical vinyl tape that stretches to conform to virtually any shape
that requires color-coded insulation. Available in nine fade resistant colors.

Scotch(R) 35 Vinyl Electrical Color Coding Tape is used in phase
identification, color coding leads and piping systems and for marking
safety areas. This tape is abrasion- and weather-resistant, with
excellent mechanical and electrical insulation properties that wraps
smoothly and holds tight over a wide range of temperatures.
UL Listed and CSA Certified, and is flame-retardant.
Excellent all-weather performance in cold to 0F (-18C) or hot to 220F (105C).

end of excerpt

The 9 colors a
Red, Blue, Green, White, Yellow, Orange, Violet, Grey, Brown.

For a Black tape, use Scotch 33 or 33+ for 7 mil, or Scotch 88 for 8.5 mil.
