Purple Sprague with purple ear tips and a purple and white ID tag.
In nursing school I had a red Sprague. We had to buy our nursing school uniforms from a specific uniform store full of very unhelpful salespeople. Unless you questioned them about what was "required" they would make you buy what they wanted to sell you....Black Spragues, the tri-color click pens, white penlight, etc....The salesperson was all put out that I wanted a different color of stethoscope. What can I say, I guess I'm just a little bit of a PIA of a customer who wasn't going to be forced to buy a color just because that is what the store owner thinks we should buy.
I have a sprague neon green, which matchs my tape measure, my hemostats, my percussion hammer. My kids went with me when I bought them, so they picked them out and matched them.
I have one that is hot pink, this is the first one i ever got about 18 years ago when I started working as a CNA. I bought a new one last year that is navy blue. It was more expensive but I still find that the cheap one i got years ago actually works better so I end up using that one more!!!
