Oh Dear, I have a Mocha Outwell - bought mainly for living space, secondly for colour - honest!  The only downside is finding everything to co-ordinate, I have yet to find a 'Mocha' coolbox - can't possibly have a blue one!  The chairs I want to get are a shade of green - wonder if I could re cover them?  The car is going to have to be changed - it is green!

Colour is very important for me.  Wild camping and its dubious legalities mean discretion is necessary. Has to be green or a very neutral colour.

Whatever's inside is another story - bright orange Thermarest ,blue sleeping bag and various soot stained titanium gizmos.

Don't get the need for colour coordination.  Unless the colour really does improve your means of shelter or cooking.  Maybe orange tents are actually better in the rain...

I'm superstitious and believe the colour green to be unlucky so if i had a choice of green and another colour i'd pick the other colour 1st but if it had everything else i wanted in it i'd pick a green tent.  I like blue so if i get a choice i'll always pick blue :)

does that help :)

I really don't have a preference for colour - tho I did pick a blue one and stood out just fine from all the different natural shades that are so Common! lol

A white ceiling makes a hell of a difference aswell, brighter when the light is lower.

I can also find every thing I need for inside in a superb contrasting yellow, it just seems to work so well inc yellow guy ropes - fanTastic!

I've not bought anything in yellow at this point as I'm really not fussed, I go camping for my own enjoyment with what ever colour I've got... sorted! :-)

That's exactly why the colour green is regarded as bad luck...in the earliest days of outdoor theatre, if you had a green costume you literally blended into the scenery.  Actors hate that sort of thing even now.  Hence the bad luck attached to green.
