I'd say Purple but there are a lot of purple WW boats out there.

How about a nice COBALT :wink:

Why do you never see black boats?

I've always like the look of dark blue and yellow canoes.

Are you bored Craig?

Multi-colored boats are cool! Too bad you couldn't get a L'Edge or Option in schemes like the SpanishFly's of old.

I want metal flakes in my plastic ... I think squirt boats deserve all the boat aesthetics style points these days.

I like marks idea- why not chuck some Mylar flakes in with that HUNTER GREEN plastic?

I'm not against swirly color combo's by any means, but neither am I a big fan. How about something linear? A red boat could be OK with a lime green (or other color) pin stripe running down the side or some other graphic effect. This may be a monumental hurdle for designers for all I know. I'm just thinking out loud... maybe I should stop.

Lime Green, it's the only colour that canoe's don't/haven't come in so far... and it's plenty visible!
