I'm kicking off another 1.9 oz uncalendered/DWR run and need help with the final color selection. I can't bring myself to make the final pick, so I'm putting it on you guys.

The LOCKS
Crimson -> http://ripstopbytheroll.com/products/1-9-oz-ripstop-nylon-crimson (just getting more)
Real Teal -> http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/colorfinder.aspx?c_id=4013
Spectra Yellow -> http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/colorfinder.aspx?c_id=1165
Custom Purple -> TBD

On the BUBBLE
White -> http://ripstopbytheroll.com/products/1-1-oz-silnylon-white
Pink -> http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/colorfinder.aspx?c_id=3087 (*if there is a better shade please speak up as I admittedly have no clue)
Olive Brown -> http://ripstopbytheroll.com/products/1-1-oz-silnylon-olive-brown (not the best pic but the brown does come out when the fabric is in the light)
Khaki -> http://ripstopbytheroll.com/products/1-1-oz-silnylon-khaki
Foliage Green ->http://ripstopbytheroll.com/products/1-1-oz-silnylon-foliage-green
Blue -> http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/colorfinder.aspx?c_id=11883
Navy Blue -> http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/colorfinder.aspx?c_id=4661

Maybe I'm dumb but I can't figure out how to do a poll now. Am I missing something? Obviously that would make this a lot easier. Anyways, if you have a sec, reply with the color you'd like to see from the BUBBLE list. If you're the trendsetting type, suggest your own color and see if people follow. Gotta get this in by tomorrow, so sooner is better. Thanks everyone!

White - no - cool color to have, just gets too dirty
Pink - meh - not for me but the option to get some for my girls would be cool
Olive Brown - yes - a staple woodsy color
Khaki - yes - a staple
Foilage Green - maybe, makes me think Clark
Blue - really pops, just not for me
Navy Blue - popular in my little world, 5 out of 30 hammocks

I picked one but almost any of them work for me.

What I really want is a WIDER fabric so I can make a run of wide hammocks. 72-75"
Obviously a tougher fabric for the big folks but still smooth and around 1.6oz/sq yd

Great thanks. I just didn't realize the poll comes up after you hit submit.

I just taught a group of Girl Scouts how to make hammocks out of the table cloths. Several asked about tie dying a white one. Do you know if your selection would take and or hold the dye?

My next DIY will probably be a coyote brown / olive brown … that would be my vote.

Where's orange/blaze orange? To me, this is the one color that should always be in the mix, as it's a "required" color during much of the year (all the various hunting seasons and jurisdictions), be it hats, pack covers, camp gear, whatever.

To me, a "blend-in" color is a great and first general choice. (Personally, that's coyote-brown.) After that, it should be a "look at me" color, if there's only one other choice. (Personally, that's blaze orange.) After those two, the other colors are merely personal idiosyncrasies. My opinion.

And the winner is..... Foliage Green! This probably wasn't the best weekend to have a poll with the holiday, but I had to kick this run off and wanted to involve the community this time. If your color didn't make it this time, hopefully I can work it in very soon. Thanks for all the feedback and hope everyone had a great 4th!
