Thoughts ? on Binocular Colors (1 Viewer)

I suppose any high visibility colour (orange, white, I've also seen marine binoculars in bright yellow) is mainly intended to prevent the binoculars from being lost. No personal quibbles with grey (SF), black, green, tan (Swarovski) ... maybe not so keen on dark brown rubber armouring (Kahles), though dark brown leatherette looks just fine. I guess if you were sneaking up on a wary bird you prefer something inconspicuous, but at my usual distances I could wear bright orange and it wouldn't make a difference. I'm not really fussed what colour a binocular comes in myself, I'd be happy to use a hot pink NL if it came at a discount (but would probably be quite the opposite!).
