I've been privately referring to it as envy green... until just now. :lol:

There are a ton of red canoes. The L'Edge is a catchy design. Make it in a not often seen, catchy color (like envy green), and people will be rear-ending each other in eddies and going down rapids backwards to crane their necks and see what you are paddling.

I've been privately referring to it as shamrock green... until just now. :lol:

Yellow.. a nice, mango-ish yellow. Thats probably the other "best/most prevalent" boat colour compared to red, but I personally like it very much. Other commercially interesting options would be: black (badasss, rare) or transparent (not happening in PE, really, but could get close).

Transparent would also include the option of user-paint INSIDE the hull where it can't be scratched by rocks (only those pesky little ones called sand and gravel.. WHY do these always end up in my boat??? ;).
I like the customizable aspect of that.

Also nice would be more toned down, matte-ish colours. basically anything you can find on any spark, as a solid colour ;D.

In a canoe you don't just float down a river: you're part of it- a silent water creature responsive to every surge and flex of current, gliding like a fingertip over a naked green body. "The River Why" David James Duncan
