Television Wardrobe Restrictions and Illegal Colors
The old rule against wearing white on television was originally intended to prevent tube flare, though modern CCD cameras can handle it better.

A recent MTV Europe Music Awards performance by Kanye West, where he wore all white against a white floor, is cited as a modern example of wardrobe choices creating visual "floating head" issues.
