FDE, Olive, Stealth Gray or Black?

Which are your favorite colors and Why?

Does Stealth Gray really blend in?

I do like the look of OD and FDE frames but I always end up going back to black.

When I got my RXM I used RIT dye to make the grey frame black.

I prefer fifty shades of FDE. But OD and rattlecan camo is nice too.

In the south anything but black with the exception of CCW guns.

I don't care for Olive, but got a bunch of it on auction so now I have to make one or two rifles in Olive.

I don't really mind different colors, but I try to buy all black, so wife doesn't really know how many guns we own. She can't tell the difference between Glocks or the clones (or most poly handguns), and all the centerfire rifles I've bought/assembled in recent years have been ARs.

She has this weird notion that we don't need any more guns.

The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see.

black.

except my RXM which is that gray. I was going to dye it but might just leave it as is.
