Is this tarp actually evergreen?

**bansheekitty** · 11-25-2020, 20:35

This is a tarp I bought in last year's sale. I had ordered evergreen, but was surprised at how dark the tarp was when it arrived. The color of the stuff sac is actually how I imagined evergreen to be (you can see the stuff sac contrasted with the tarp in one picture). I wonder whether this is actually evergreen, or whether it could be something like dark olive instead. I'd like to know for sure what color this is for informing future purchases. If it isn't evergreen, then my next tarp purchase will be evergreen for sure. If it is in fact evergreen, then I'd like to know what color the stuff sac is, since I prefer that color.

Thanks for any help!

The tarp is not green in my opinion. Looks grey or dark foliage green.

I would bet olive brown which is what mine is. Looks the same to me.

Evergreen should be...green. Here's a photo of a Superfly in evergreen:

Edited to add -- can someone tell me how to get photos to reliably show right-side-up on the forum? TIA

The actual color shades change all the time. I assume that it's simply down to the fabric manufacturer. An "evergreen" tarp bought in November 2019 will look different from an "evergreen" tarp bought in November 2020. That's why the stuff sack is a different green. It was probably made with the previous batch. The color on the picture is hard to judge. If it's not evergreen, it can only be charcoal grey, as the brown has been shades of a coyote brown for the last couple of years. They might have made a mistake when filling all the Black Friday orders. It would have been better to get back to them right after receiving the tarp. There's probably not much they can do a year later.
