I've been using muted earth tones for so long that I think bright colors might actually bother me when I'm camping. I do think I might get a top quilt that's bright yellow though. idk why, but other than that, I'll stick to the muted colors.

I like blending in. I have everything in a muted mixture, trying to break up shapes: Tarp in greenish gray, hammock in forest green, TQ and UQ in olive drab...
...EXCEPT the inside of my TQ, which is very bright orange, for visibility when needed but otherwise hidden.
Me too. I like to be stealth. Bright colours are beautiful but not for me.Originally Posted by Dlrocm

Get them all. You will eventually anyway.
I have 5 camo hammocks ( about to be 6 when I sew up the woodland HyperD I got a while back ), neon green, white, 3 blues, red, olive yellow, purple, 2 coyote browns, black, and safety orange.
Sometimes I want to be bold and noticeable ( say maybe Boy Scout camp or a family picnic at the lake ) and sometimes I want to be more restrained ( solo camping ).
I have a mix of tarps as well ( camo to bright blue ). Same rules apply.
I like to blend in and keep a low profile. I feel more relaxed and "in nature".
When deer start hanging from two 30° straps between trees and cover themselves in silnylon, I might start to worry. Otherwise, some bright coloring never hurts.
