without hijacking the carp rod colour thread - do other have a preferred rod colour - personally I like a dark green
Btitish racing green ; ideally with a little castle symbol!
So long as the action is what I want the colour really doesn't matter.
I couldn't tell you the colour of anything other than guess or unless my wife tells me.
Strange really mentioning rods as I have what medics call (rod monochromacy) colour blindness.
Coloured tips just seems to disappear depending on the colour of the water if it becomes difficult to see I use tip ex or a marker pen, same with floats.
It's not a problem I've had it since birth so know no difference.
Used to get laughed at a lot at school in art, especially when painting trees with green trunks and brown leaves.
I'm surprised that no one so far has mentioned the best colour of all . . . .
Varnished natural cane . . . .

Absolutly 100% with you Peter ...but how do you get a Carbon blank to go that colour ?
Bruce & Walker and Daiwa have managed it with Hexagraph, Hexagon Whisker and Carbon Greenheart respectively.
I think Tigger's right - it's not just colour, the graphics and so on can make a big difference.
No disrespect to Daiwa, or Daiwa fans. They make some of the best rods. But the graphics here...... would you believe the Daiwa was the most expensive of the bunch?
