Wanted to know besides personal preferences, are some colors better than
others when considering choice for hull/deck colors.





What colors offer better visibility from the air and land.


Are there deck colors that are better in providing protection from sun glare
and may help to make things a little cooler when paddling in the open under
the hot sun.





Thanks.
