The best appropriate color of scrubs

Hi there! The next month I am going to shadow a doctor, and I am indecisive about which is the most appropriate colour of scrub. I am going to shadow a histopathologic doctor.

Any recommendation in the field?? Please, I am new at this, so any help will be very helpful to me. Once I finish my placement, can I do more shadows?

Don't buy your own scrubs. Wear smart formal clothes and wear any protective clothing you are offered. If it is work in a laboratory you may have to wear a white coat and goggles. If scrubs are needed, they will be provided. They won't want you taking them home because of potential infection risks (and I wouldn't want to wash them with the rest of my laundry either).
