I had a meeting recently with someone quite experienced in designing data centers, and he suggested we paint our new data center black because spiders won't make webs on black ceilings/walls.
is there any validity to this? Has anyone heard this fact/myth before??
Can't say I've ever heard of this one before either!
I'd also think black was a bad color to choose especially if there is any natural light entering your data centre (as this would absorb heat better than white)
5.3.4.4 Treatment
"Floors, walls, and ceiling shall be sealed, painted, or constructed of a material to minimize dust.
Finishes should be light in color to enhance room lighting. Floors shall have anti-static properties
in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2."
Plus, I personally do not like spiders but they do serve a purpose in nature which is to kill other bugs.
Wow, thats a cool tip, if it really works. I have never heard about this before. Everybody would appreciate if it really solves the problem of webs in the DCs.
I don’t think that the color really matters. I’ve seen spiders in black painted walls, and in darker areas. I think having a regular schedule of cleaning up the center is a better solution.
Yes i also heard this myth before but not sure is it correct or not. And also i havent seen black color in any data center.I think you will have to do more research on it.
Best thing is that you will have to visit more data centers and check yourself.

Oh is it? I think, if you can have some light orange or green or blue color - That will make your staffs to get more motivation - some research works had proven that..... But BLACK, it will give them more pressure and a sad mind... Is it? Think a minute, before u go ahead with black
