    I have a mixture:
    UGQ set with a charcoal UQ with burnt orange inner, and then reversed those colors on the TQ.
    AHE Ridge Creek XL UQ for my Ridgerunner in Hexcam Wasteland, black inner.
    HG Econ Burrow TQ that's black with gray inner.
    Loco Libre Carolina Reaper UQ that's black with burnt orange inner (with contrast stitching).
    Wife's UGQ set is OutdoorInk paisley outer with robin egg blue inner.

    I agree with others about the benefit of having a brightly colored inner on UQ's, so that it's easier to make sure your sitting into the hammock and not the UQ.

    It hasn't been mentioned yet, but one thing you might want to consider is resale. I think it would be far easier to resell the quilts if they are typical, drab colors as opposed to vibrant, interesting combinations. Not saying that should factor into your decision, but it's worth considering. I doubt I'd have an easy time reselling the funky quilts I picked for my wife.

    I usually go with earth tones, but I bought my LLG zero set made of brick red. Love it! It's an awesome color!

    Earth tones with everything for me.

    What are you using to post images? Because I've never once been able to view any image you've posted. I just see a minus sign in a circle. I'm using Windows 10 and Google Chrome.

    No problem here, though I have seen the symbol Surfr is referring to. Never noticed if it was a pattern for specific members' posts.
