Please forgive my ignorance, but why does the color of the step ladder matter?

It's important that the ladders blend in with the weed man! Dontcha know that? :)
I've been trying to look this up somewhere, but the best I can come up with is that they copied a list of materials from somewhere else (that same list appears in a lot of places) and that the original list included outdoor growing supplies as well---note the "camouflage netting and clothing."
I gather that the plants benefit from a certain amount of tweaking (pruning, clipping, splitting branches) to control the amount of flowering, and perhaps a ladder makes that easier. Maybe if the ladder has a camo paint job, it's easier to leave it near the grow site instead of attracting attention by carrying it back and forth.
Thanks to all the searching I did for your silly question, (1) I now know far more than I ever wanted to about marijuana cultivation, and (2) the NSA is probably even now passing my search history to the DEA.
