Interesting thread on colours, I wonder why the latest Outwell tents are all Mocca / beige, especially as someone else who posted earlier said they attract the insects!!!

All tents should be green to blend in with the countryside.... tin tents too. Unless it's snowing of course, then the tin tents blend in best.

High performance, 5 season (?) tents are usually of a very bright colour, i.e. orange or red, for safety.
If you find yourself up the side of a mountain in a snow blizzard you have a better chance of finding your way back to a brightly coloured shelter.

I guess that for less extreme camping, the colour of the tent has more to do with prevailing fashions?



Pink, green & yellow ... designer must have been on drugs!!

.. but it's a great little tent.

It IS a strange colour combination, but what's weirder is that it still looks GOOD!

And even your carrier bag is colour co-ordinated!!!

I prefer Blue and surprise surprise our tent is Blue.

When we were looking around before we purchased the tent, one of the salesmen tried to tell me that green was better as it would be cooler during the summer, somewhat missing the point that i didn't like the colour!

On the plus side have not found our tent to be hot in the height of summer, although his comment did get me wondering if it was true!

Colour, in my experience is irrelevant. All studies are rendered meaningless when husband and wife pitch a tent together. Be it green, blue, beige, brown, bright orange etc. we are all destined to argue about everything!

Unfortunately,farmers think like this.They spot a green tent,and think: Grass and Trees = OK,one night and a morning!    If they spot a yellow,blue,red etc tent,they think: Off my land with that eyesore monstrosity!

no,but my family are farmers in snowdonia.I genuinely do not know their philosophy on tents and if they deem them suitable to be on their fields or not etc,but a lot of modern farmers don't know enough about farming,the land etc to keep them occupied,so go looking out for trifles,like tents that stand out.I have personally been * visited * by a genuine working farmer when out in fields,and all they do is ask what i'm doing,and ask nicely if i will not leave a mess.I have heard a lot of new farmers,are from the cities,and truly believe a field should look as they see them in countryside magazines,with a philosophy of banning and driving off campers in tents,is good for the environment and eco-system of their fields and farmland.
