What if you have black walls? |
|
|
I think the white rubber is the natural color. To get black ladder rubber that makes scuffs you have to add carbon black. This might help against UV, but I don't recall any warnings about white wall tyres perishing, so I doubt this would be a significant factor in ladder rubber. |

Seeing as there's (perhaps) nothing added to white rubber, maybe it wouldn't make marks, or might make more benign and wipeable marks.

As with automotive tires, the carbon is added for longevity
and the black color is deepened by vulcanization, or
something along those lines. |

You can get a variety of non-scuffing ladder bumpers from
McMaster-Carr and Gempler's. It would be nice to have
them come standard, however. |

Perhaps we should all redecorate using black rubber wallpaper? |

Inflatable black rubber wallpaper! |

But that's a different idea again, isn't it? |
