One reason why photo wrap paper, and photo boxes are traditionally black. 
Back during the anthrax scare, one profile target that was mailed to me was on a 
paper I was familiar with by name, but not by color. I contacted the sender, 
and indeed, the paper had been white at the time it left his studio, but was 
very yellow by the time it arrived at mine. They never made public what measures 
were used to attempt to kill anthrax in the mail, but a FedExed version of 
the target came through the correct color a couple of days later, so apparently 
the shipping services were not using a similar safety precaution.
