Colored belts were a creation of European practitioners of 'Asian' arts. Prior to that, in 1889 Jigoro Kano (founder of Kano ju-jutsu, aka: judo) introduced black and white belts as a means to differentiate students from senior students (instructors/asst instructors). He, in turn, wore a double-wide white belt. It is said he adopted the practice of white/black belts from other sports in Japan; specifically that of swimming.
