It seems most hospitals have that particular shade of light ‘hospital green’ or blue. Is there are a medical or scientific reason these colours are chosen?

FYI though, thats an old school surgeon thing, not for all hospital staff. Modern hospitals typically now choose either a color that seems calming or something that matches their theme colors or logo. Colors are often also chosen to represent what job they have. Like i worked in a hospital where the logo was navy blue, so attendings wore navy blue, but residents wore burgundy, pca’s wore ceil blue, PAs wore teal, and so on. I also worked for a hospital whose logo was purple and white, so thats what the nurses wore. I cant speak for history, but at this point in time its mostly arbitrary.
