Spi Colours and why you like them

   So, what colour and why ? 
I've had various Kites in my time - Blue one and then a Yellow and Pink ones on my Hurricanes and all the ones for the Inter 17 have been Pink.

Now For the F16 I am 99.99999% certain I'm going to have a Purple one.  (the other option I have in mind is Black).
I don't want Blue, Red or Yellow as there are a fair few of those around already.
What colout Kite's have you had, and any reasons you would/would not have the same again.

	Mainsail is going to be "Smoke" so not sure about Grey. I'm sure white will be too bright (sais the man who has had yello and pink kites )

	Keep the kite the same colour all over, it avoids different panels stretching at different rates. As for colour apparently blue is the best for speed, a lot of the tornados are using it. But as we all know choosing the colour is nothing about speed and all about how cool you look on the water. My preference is an all white rig, but if that is not your cup of tea I would say a combination no one else has but still looks cool. White main/jib black kite?
