To further protect against harsh environments, it's recommended to overwrap the rubber tape with durable vinyl electrical tape. These tapes are also built to withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for applications near motors, heat vents, or blast furnaces.
“There are many kits and products available to electricians today that simplify their work and help increase productivity,” Anderson says. “The properties of electrical tapes have also been steadily improved over the years. These proven products can be adapted to many important electrical insulation tasks, and they continue to be valuable assets for our industry. For that reason, we continue to stress the importance of taping skills and strong product and application knowledge.”
You may also choose a tape color based on branding or personal preferences. If your company uses certain colors in its advertising, using those same colors for your custom branded tape will improve your brand recognition.

And of course, you are free to choose a tape color purely because you like how it looks.
