I know that some big companies have consumer/user/expert panels with representation of among others of the hunting and birding community next to a panel of different disciplines as kind of an "advisory board"about the demands of the hunting/birding/user community, so I not think that the orange color is chosen as a kind of fashion design. Look at the new Swarovski rangefinder, that is also available in orange and I can not find "fashion"arguments for these instruments. If you loook at the designs of the different companies, they all have at a certain stage made "fashion inspired"instruments. Leica was very good at that but Zeiss also and despite the higher prices they were sold quite easily.
