Oh. I'll just assume 'shades of grey' and leave it at that.

Here's everything you need to know (almost) re:costumes for an Equity production. These rules are from the Production Contract, but they're pretty standard across the board, no matter which contract you work under.

14. CLOTHES and MAKE-UP.
(A) Costumes, Producer Must Provide. The Producer shall furnish all
Actors engaged hereunder with all costumes and clothes (period or modern),
including wigs, hats, beards, hairpieces, tights, hose, stockings and properly
fitted footwear.
(B) Costumes, Rental of. Actor shall not rent or lend any wardrobe to a
Producer for use in any production unless the terms of the rental or loan are
stated in the contract of employment by rider and approved by Equity. If the
Actor wishes to wear Actor's own clothes (including shoes) instead of those
supplied by the Producer, Actor may do so only with the consent of the
Producer and under terms expressed in the employment contract. Any
approval required by this paragraph shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Any rental approved by Equity shall be paid by the Producer to the
Actor weekly with salary.
(C) Cleaning and Upkeep of. Costumes or clothing, including hats,
furnished by the Producer shall be freshly cleaned when delivered to the
Actor and cleaned thereafter whenever necessary but at least once every
three weeks and in any case within one week before the production goes on
tour. Spot cleaning, when required, shall be completed in time to allow at
least four hours for drying and airing prior to the half-hour call. In order to
assure that costumes are cleaned as required, the Stage Manager shall
maintain a cleaning schedule. Clean and dry shirts, blouses, stockings and
other skin parts shall be furnished for every performance. Skin parts,
including undergarments, bodysuits, stockings, dress shields, bathing suits,
dance trunks and slips, shall be individually assigned and shall not be
switched from one Actor to another. After cleaning, every effort shall be
made to dry and air costumes prior to their issue to the Actor. All skin parts,
including dance belts not provided by the Producer, must be laundered and
thoroughly rinsed and dried.

There's more in the Equity Rule book...but I think this should cover what you're interested in knowing.
