Has anyone found a brand of bandages or wraps in any skin-zone color beside the typical "Ace bandage beige"? I did a quick bit of research tonight online that yielded no helpful results.
Many times, my actors will use Ace bandages during performances, but invariably they ask "do you have anything darker?" That standard bandage color jumps out against an actor's skin tone under stage lights, even on my palest actors (let alone on African-American or Hispanic cast members). On the fly, I've adjusted costume pieces a bit to make the actor in question feel comfortable going onstage with the wrap (unroll sleeves, hike up socks a bit higher, even applied make-up over the outer-layer of the bandages). Is it possible that the medical commodity industry really hasn't caught onto the fact that humans come in different skin tones and would appreciate products that mirror that reality?
Any helpful leads would be appreciated. I will delve deeper into internet research on this, hopefully tomorrow, and post any promising results.
