 <td>I foolishly bought spray paint for a project that was *much* too large for spray paint, so I had quite a few of these sitting around waiting to be used.  I used it to paint the green lids on the food storage tubs.  The lids make the test tubes stand/stay much better, but the green color of the lids made it hard to see the liquids in the test tubes, so the white paint came in handy.  Alternatively, you could use white paper, but it'll get soggy pretty quickly.</td>
