Masking tape has to be of a good quality, but if it is also coloured with bright shades, that’s even better.
Why? Because you can see in a blink of an eye which tape you have to pick up for a certain kind of paint job and save time. You can forget all the time wasted in searching for *that* masking tape in your messy tool case.
Furthermore, coloured masking tape is easier to see when you have to take it off from the surfaces you masked (apparently, painting a khakis wall and masking it with a beige paper tape is not the greatest idea).
Q1® masking tapes are yellow, violet and black. Of course, their colour is not the only difference between them. Learn more about them.
Yellow masking tape – for regular/precision paintworks

If you didn’t notice yet, yellow is our favourite colour ever.
Why should you choose a yellow masking tape instead of a classical one? Because yellow is the brightest shade of the spectrum, the most clearly visible as it stands out on most of the surfaces. Think about it: yellow is used in all low-visibility contexts, for signals and professional clothing in night jobs or foggy conditions.
In our yellow range:
- Q1® Precision Line Masking Tape, for perfect razor sharp paint edges, UV & water resistant;
- Q1® Multiple Purpose Indoor Masking Tape, for multiple and irregular indoor surfaces, 7 days clean removal.
Violet masking tape – for delicate surfaces

In a nice light violet shade, Q1® Delicate Surface Masking Tape is a coloured low tack paper tape specifically designed for the preservation of delicate surfaces during the painting process. It removes cleanly both on smooth or slightly textured surfaces.
This coloured masking tape guarantees 15 days indoor clean removal.
Black tape – for repairing and patching

Ok, that’s not a masking tape, but it is always a painter’s best friend after all. Q1® All Purpose Duct Tape it the perfect tool for general repairs, bundling, patching and mending and protection from damages.
It can be used as protection and sealant in many contexts like home and construction sites, so we highly suggest you to make it join your team of coloured masking tapes.
