It depends on the brand of casting tape and what colors the hospital or doctor's office wants to stock. Orange, lime green, purple, black, blue, white, glow in the dark (looks white in light), bright yellow, pink, light blue, red.
Also some companies make cast tape in various patterns and prints such as camouflage, various sport's and kid's related themes.
