Warbonnet tarp color possible inconsistency?

**gtbeekeeper** · 11-08-2018, 09:53

I am interested in a Warbonnet tarp and am trying to chose my color wisely. I have a XLC olive green hammock and would like a little contrast with my tarp. I would desire the tarp not be dark green or full brown but something in between. Like a brownish/green for stealth (east coast). So my question is I see that the hammock colors are named differently than the tarps, are the greens and the browns the same? I have seen some forum posts and pictures that some of the colors have changed through the years with Warbonnet

Their website states:

Hammock: "Olive Green" and "Brown"
Tarps: "Evergreen" and "Olive Brown"

Any insight, or images of gear would be helpful, thanks!

You may have seen this pic I put in another post. These are just tarps, so I know that won't help you 100% but it's a start. You can tell it will depend on how new/old your gear is.

My 2012 "Olive Green" 1.1 Blackbird wasn't really any of these colors. Closest to the "2012" tarp on the right, but still pretty different. Almost like a hunter green. These days, it could be a lot different. Sorry I can't provide a side by side since my new BB is a charcoal gray.

Yes, I have seen that and would rather it be more like the color on the right. That brown is too brown for me. My "Olive Green" hammock looks more like the middle one which you say is "Evergreen" so that is confusing.

I would probably go for the middle color tarp over the brown tarp if those were to two options. One question about the brown though, does it look like khaki or tan out in the wild?

It's a personal thing, but I returned the brown since I didn't like the color. I will say, the Evergreen changes from almost a turquoise to olive outdoors depending on the lighting. I never seen anything with that much variance...pretty strange! Overall, I really like the evergreen which seems to blend into any surrounding.
