Who wants a new ladybug color?

In another thread, Sal asked about what other ladybug colors we'd be interested in.
sal wrote:...Also, our current thoughts re to make a color and just keep it rather than make it s a sprint. The purple one will probably hang around for a while, as will the yellow H1 version...

...But as long as you started the thread, let's discuss adding another color. I thought about a bright blue, but I'm open to your preferences.

Any interest in a ZDP version, ful flat grind, British Racing Green?

So I thought I'd whip up a few colors in Photoshop and get people's opinions. For the current generation ladybug, we've already have black, yellow, purple, white, foliage green, and orange. Sal said they don't intend to repeat colors, so I didn't include any of these but did use some similar colors to past generation ladybugs (red for example).

So what color would you like to see?

Though I would love it if we could get an H1 ToxiHawk. :D
Extra points if they can toss some glow powder into the toxic FRN mix!

ZDP 189 in the Ladybug would be outstanding for me!

I would love a digicamo or pretty much any green color. A FFG Ladybug would be a total must!

I'd like to see a FFG ZDP189 Ladybug with a Ti handle and integral compression lock, just for kicks. :D

Seriously though, I'd like to see any new color FRN for the Ladybugs. Desert tan is rarely seen in spydies, and I´d also like any of the new Delica/Endura colors in a Ladybug.

Sal's idea of the green ZDP 189 I really want! That red and brown also look great.

- best wishes, Jazz.

I like the idea of BRG, a tan/brown, and the blue from the FFG delica/endura

Although the digi-cam render looks cool I find it hard to believe it would look good on such a small/incredibly textured knife.

As a side note, I only put Digi-camo into the mix because it seems like a lot of people have requested it in other threads. While I would love to see digi-camo FRN, I don't think it's possible to manufacture FRN with square patterns. I suppose it would be possible to manufacture a G-10 version (since they managed to make a CF one back in the day), but it seemed in Sal's post that he was just looking for alternate colors that could easily be added to the FRN. But I thought it would be fun to see what it would look like and how much demand there is, so I tossed it into the poll.

I've also dreamed of a tye die/swirl FRN. I was looking at my orange ladybug one day and wondered what it would look with with purple swirls in it...

I think a digicamo FRN would be impossible...

"Toxic green" belongs specifically on a USN knife, at least call it slime green for our purposes here. I like the tan one.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

But "Sligrawk" (SLIme GReen hAWK) just doesn't roll off the tongue the same way "ToxiHawk" does! ;)

But I do suppose that if Spyderco chose to use the bright green handle for production, they'd probably just call it Lime Green, like they did on the Jester.
