I stand corrected for color vs black!

Vampyrewolf you are right.

kbuzbee you are also right.

I was TECHNICALLY careless in my comment. The science of 'color' is as diffcult as rocket science. A theoretical physisist would be the only one qualified to sort out this question and he would probably be wrong. There are many schemes to differentiate and explain 'colors' as we perceive them. All of them are right. Drill down in Corel Draw to convert colors to various systems.

I still maintain that black FRN is the absence of color since I don't have any idea what I am talking about. And yeah I played with the lights and it is trve.

Way cool subject. ;)

For me classical black, and I would like to see how good the new version of greyish green works for urban conceal. carry + the racing green looks nice too.
I realised that burgundy (almost like red) attacks too many sights when clipped in pocket.

My favorite would be also the new Caly jr. gray, but since it wasn't on the poll, I voted black (which I like too). This wouldn't stop me from getting a blue Rescue, for instance :rolleyes:

who'd have thought that a question about handle colours would make you think about science? :p :p What surprised me more was that I didn't have to really think about the facts, even though I haven't done physics for 4yrs (other than basic forces and angles).
Only thing I do now thats anywhere close to it is poke around to see WHY/HOW things work (yes, it makes WAY more work to start with, but my notes are work are pretty complete). Once in a while I come across something new, but I usually come across a problem/solution on my own in poking around.

I had to go with yellow on the choices... love my OLD rescue (have to get it STR'd though), and have a tasman to play with for a week.

I love my grey Caly Jr, but i had to vote for my new EDC, Yellow Tasman.
it's sheeple friendly (the colour, not the blade :D ) and easy to find when out of your pocket. Plus I do not go with that stealth tactical mall ninja thing. But tht's just me :p .
If you have it flaunt it! ;)
