    Best Incubator Color Choice for Brown Blackbird

    I am looking at getting an Incubator for my brown WBBB. Since there is chatter that the colors on the HG site are not super accurate, I thought I would see what others may think is the best selection.

    My gut says Burnt Orange.

    Thanks for taking my first post cherry

    I really like their burn orange color. I have a TQ with the orange outside and grey inside, looks really good. My UQ from them is the coyote brown outer and black inner, it matches perfectly with my brown WBBB

    Coyote Brown and Burnt Orange are a good match. I have a Sparrow and a Zeppelin coming soon that are Coyote Brown with lots of orange accents. My new tarp is Coyote Brown with orange cordage for the ridgelines and guylines.

    If you have a lot of patience, you easily get samples from https://ripstopbytheroll.com/
    Which is where many of the popular manufacturers here get their fabrics from.

    I noticed all of my hiking and hammock gear were primarily earth tones. I think my orange TQ was me trying to break that up a little bit. Lots of different colors to choose from for sure

    Thanks everyone.

    While I don't consider the burnt orange "bling", I also like to have a low profile sleeping in the middle of the bush. That being said I was also considering the dark olive ion but it looks more grayish on the picture of the UQ and more brownish on the picture of the TQ.

    Does anyone have the dark olive ion in real life, if so, is it more brown or gray?

    Thanks again.

    I have a Dark Olive Ion shell on my Loco Libre Gear Saver Series Serrano top quilt. It's not really brown or grey -- it's a pretty true dark olive green -- but if I were pushed I'd say with a tinge of brown (not grey), and it is darker than you might imagive from the photos on the DWG website. It's a great color that works well with just about any subtle earth tone.
