What do all the different colours of scrubs represent for nurses?


Ok... so I was watching this advertisment for nurses on tv and one had a brown scrub, another had a purple one, and the other had a green one. I know the green is for surgical procedures, but what do all the other colours stand for? Do you know all the colours of scrubs?
10 POINTS FOR WHO DOES!

i work in a hospital and certain color scrubs represent different people like light blue is for surgery, burgundy is for respitory therapists, green are for nurses,purple are for nursing assistants and the secretarys that work on the floor usually wear dress like clothes or they can also wear scrubs,which dont matter what color. i work in transport and they like us to wear black pants and light blue polos. also the radiologists wear all black. i know because i work for radiology. they like to have us wear certain attire so they know whose who.

i guess it usually goes with the standard procedure in a specific hospital for colors of scrubs.
