    International orange = Burnt or Blaze?

    Bought my son a WBBB XLC in Int Orange for his 16th Birthday, it solved all his sleeping issues he was having with the HH Explorer. He can now 100% side sleep with the XLC.

    I want to make some accessories, does anyone know it the WB International orange is "Burnt Orange" or "Blaze Orange" from RSBTR ?

    Thanks,
    Slack

    The few comments that I have seen tend to compare it to blaze orange. That being said, you could order an OutdoorINK color map for the Pantone colors and know that you're getting a close match.

    Either way, that new orange looks awesome! A single layer Eldorado in orange is very tempting.

    Another idea would be to make the accessories out of Dark Olive. That is such a sweet color combination!

    Agreed. Or Charcoal Grey with orange, one of my favorites. It looks so "OSHA"...

    He has the Int Orange WBBB XLC and a Charcoal HH Hex tarp,,
    I was flip-flopping between concealed color or standout when I ordered his hammock,, but we are not really going to be able to "hide" with the kayaks, so I went orange.

    I am going to make a climashield 40 deg UQ and a few accessories, not sure if I should try to match the orange or contrast it with the UQ?

    Some people like the INSIDE of the UQ to be a unique color so they don't miss the hammock and sit down in the UQ upon entry.

    Almost everything I have is Multicam, dark olive, or Coyote Brown, but this has not happened to me yet…

    I agree with this, but for both the inside and outside of the UQ. I like to know where the hammock stops and the quilt starts. Makes it easier to grab the right part when sitting down.

    If you're hammocking at work, and want to keep your recordables low, then the "OSHA" look may be for you!
