A lot of tissue is the same colour and density: have you ever look at glass under water, it is much the same thing. Staining things makes different things take on colour and they can be seen much more clearly. I believe the first medical staining was done by Doctor Erhlich in working with the tuberculosis bacterium.
It depends on what tissue you're looking at, what you want to stain, how the tissue has been stored... Besides very specific staining, there are different types of staining. For example, immunohistochemistry, which uses antibodies to stick coloured stains to cell surface receptors. Or, chemical staining - the most common is H&E staining (haemotoxylin & eosin), so if you're just having fun in a lab and want to see general structures of cells, use this one.
Negative staining has a dark contrasted background and the bacteria is white. Simple staining has a white background and bacteria is the color depended on your stain color.Negative staining when prepared is NOT heat fixed but simple staining when prepared is heat fixed. Heat fixed means when preparing slide with bacteria on it, it is passed over some type of flame, like a Bunsen burner flame, three times or four times.
the answer is procedure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck if you are having trouble.
Differential staining is the procedure that are used to distinguish organism based on their staining properties. Use of gram stain divide bacteria into two classes - gram positive which retain crystal violet stain purple colour, gram negative which lose their crystal violet and give pink colour. By this method we can differentiate two different types of bacteria having different cell wall composition that is the reason gram staining used widely as differential staining

size and shape
they are easier to see when you use a microscope
Stain first, seal afterwards.
