Spires are traditionally white, which is a carryover from the American colonial times when wood and labor were plentiful, says the Religious Products News website. Metal was scarce in the early colonies, but wood was abundant. Wooden structures typically were whitewashed for protection, along with any cornice or trimmings. This same tradition applied to church towers. The biggest drawback of wooden church steeples was that they became weather-beaten over time. But labor was easily available and affordable to the early American settlers, and church congregations could afford the frequent maintenance on their wooden spires and cupolas.
