This reminds me of my time in the pottery industry in the 1980s
There had been a slight reorganisation in which the General Manager had taken on responsibility for design, so leading to the appointment of a Works Manager to take on day-to-day responsibility for the factory.
Paul, the guy who got the job, was promoted from within and was very clued up, but out of politeness asked the General Manager if he could offer any pieces of advice about running the factory.
"Just one," replied the General Manager, "Keep it white, Paul. Keep it white."
