Why do they even bother trying to make band aids "skin colored"?

Asked by redfeather (6507points) July 29th, 2011 from iPhone

My mom has a bandaid on her chin from a shot and I saw her rifling through bandaid boxes in our first aid kit. I asked what she was doing and she said “Looking for a Latina colored one.” which got me to thinking. Do they even have different colored bandages? Like, for dark brown people, or pink people, or olive people? Why are all bandages the color of orthopedic granny shoes?
