Favorite exterior light color (How do you feel about black?)

The Sofirn green is probably my absolute favorite. Not sure how it will hold up over time. After than, a bright Ti would be a close second. I also really like the sand or desert tan finish that Convoy uses. Not only does it look nice but it feels very good in the hand.

I like stainless ,Ti, Sand Greenish grey Dark Blue and rich colors . slate blue or grey ,browns etc . The problem is you can screw up a color pretty easily . ..Like the Xeno E03 red that looks ugly rose?? sofirns red isn't real good either and their new green is too dark imo

Convoys new green looks nice too ..but suffers from head and tail mismatch. Farkas old bluish grey was beautiful...colors can be difficult and need to be done right .

I always thought I wanted orange ...but it's not as interesting in person .

I like colored lights BUT, it seems the better they look the less likely I am to use them as the tools they are. If they can’t be used without worry of messing up the pretty colors then I tend to give it or sell it off.

I don’t mind black, but I would prefer a lot of other colors if they were available. Brighter greens and blues especially.

I have always liked the olive green color Zebralight uses. But not enough to collect based on it.

Natural/OD Type III anodizing, Surefire’s and others that are similar look better Zebralight IMHO but the latter is nice too.

just like in the Dog Shows: ASCOB.
Any Solid Color Other than Black.

Mostly black. I use my lights a lot for photography and my photography gear is black.

My bikes are black and so are my bike lights.

I see them as tools, not fashion accessories, except I have a couple of nice EDC knives for social occasions and matching small lights in copper and SS.

??? Well, poop. :frowning: :cry:

Black is fine.
I like other colours, mainly darker matte metals and military colours. Anything bright just reminds me of cheap plastic lights from the 1980s.
Fashion isn’t the biggest factor, but looking good does help.

Not sure why I am remembering this now… but for as long as I can remember, I always liked the type III finish and color of the Fenix T1.
Its like an olive gray.

Natural HA Type III has always been my favorite.

Baked

great topic discussion IMO, thanks Zoulas!

I like anodized colors of all sorts (blue, green, tan/desert, & red especially). or if there is a unique one, as long as they aren’t too bright, unless they are really nice. Its weird, there are so many contradictions when i try to describe the colors of ano i like on lights. Some blues are great to me, some not so much. I don’t like the convoy s2 colors really at all, but i like all of astrolux’s colors. but convoy gray is my favorite gray, well besides fw3a gray (blue) lol.

but, without a doubt, i am most drawn to natural metals - copper, brass (more so lately then copper, which i used to despise brass), bare aluminum, titanium. These are my favorites definitely, i always go for them when they’re available or i can afford them lol. they age the best too (no worn ano look :confounded: )

Is that something you did yourself? Never saw that color available for sale .

Black light, baked in an oven. Electrics removed.

Any colour is fine, but I tend to go for black most of the time. Got me a light grey S2, an S2 and an S2+ in darker gunmetal-ish grey, and I have a C8+ in tan on order, and the rest of my collection is all solid black. I’m not overly picky.

Now that’s purdy :heart_eyes: They look almost like they’re made of bronze. Too bad it doesn’t seem to go well with the stainless steel of the M2’s bezel.

Agree, Wanted to do a black bezel.

Boring old black mostly.

I love orange on my tools, makes them a bit harder to loose :slight_smile:
