When I bought my Klepper about three years ago, I was advised against buying
a yellow one, although it was one of my favorite colors for reasons of looks
as well as visibility. The dealer said he had bad experiences with this
color being very attractive to the kind of mosquitos we have here in the
Netherlands and paddling it here would be hell. So I chose one in the color
"mint", which is blueish bright green. In the mean time it has faded just a
little, but it still looks nice. I still get stung once in a while, though
;-)
Someone I know just bought one in the the color "olive", which actually
looks like gray mud, and I think it looks horrible. But, it's the military's
favorite color, or so I heard ;-)

regards,

    Kees
