¶ Color codes
At xHain we have marked different workareas called Branches with different color codes. Bigger objects will be marked with a sticker (colour logos), smaller objects with coloured paint. The reason for the markings is simple: using expensive tools for the wrong purpose damages the tools and makes them unusable for their intended purpose.

If you use a tool for the wrong purpose or in the wrong area, you might damage the tool and you're violating our space rules. Examples:
- Using a ("blue") fabric scissors for cutting paper ("white area") makes the scissors useless for fabrics. (FYI: good textile scissors cost around 30-60EUR each!).
- Using expensive "green" pliers for working on your bicylce ("white or pink area") makes the pliers useless for delicate electronics.
If you can't find the right tool in a specific workspace, please contact the person responsible for that area. They will take care of replacing or purchasing it.
