Mimes can wear other colors besides just black and white to portray their character more easily. I am still trying to find what mimes can wear as other colors to portray their character. The most common color mimes wear are black and white. These are known as the classic colors. Mimes wear black and white so that they have a neutral effect as well as making it easier to see the facial expressions. Also the use of these colors makes it so that the facial expressions are the center of the act. When the mime acts out something, such as a wall, the black and white make a neutral background for the subject. Wearing a color such as red or blue draws away the neutrality of the image in this case the wall.

The white makeup helps to make the mime's facial expressions more noticeable, and it creates a more neutral character that is easier for everyone to identify with. == == == ==
