    Another vote for colors that blend in: brown, olive green, even camo. That's the "tiptoe" way.

    hehehe.. I've never had the luxury of picking a color. My HH are all what comes from Hennessey and my DIY are whatever waterproof stuff I find in Wally World. Mostly gray and green.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    I would prefer either black or brown.

    I just got done making a tarp out of that olive brown sil Ed offered a while back. I must say, it sure blends in wonderfully!

    Tried grey, but it didn't seem stealthy enough for my tastes. It was better than the first tarp I made though, which was aqua !

    FWIW, last year the JRB cat tail brown tarps outsold the olive tarps 5 to 4.... This year it is pretty much dead even on color preference.
