MLD Trailstar gray vs brown?

I've owned both, and preferred olive brown. The light is a warmer colour temperature than the gray, which I found to be rather stark in snow and overcast conditions. The tradeoff is that yes, there is a little less light transmitted through the brown silnylon. However with the Trailstar you have an open door at all times, so it's not like you're cutting yourself off from your surroundings.

If we're talking about purchasing a new Trailstar from MLD, you might want to contact them first. As I understand it, the Gray silnylon is in very short supply. Perhaps the Tan silnylon would work instead?

I have a brown one and live under the sun drenched skies of So. California where rarely the clouds gather. The brown canopy does nothing to enhance the mood and often produces the need for a flashlight to search for small items even in daylight. I would order yellow if it is offered.

All the others kids use gray silnylon. Stand out- use brown. Or more to the point DON'T stand out. I can spot classic silnylon-gray shelters from a mile away, with the only real exception being when they blend in the similarly-colored rock like in the Winds or the Sierras.

In case you haven't guessed, I'm one of those people who think shelters should all be subdues colors to avoid standing out.

I own a gray Solomid; I find it to be comfortable in cloudy situations and in more sunny situations alike.

It's like a greeny gray (?), nice to wake up to.

Yes, I too prefer to blend in, hence this thread. I'll take a look at the green, but isn't that very pale too? The only reason I'm raising this at all is that here in the UK we have to a bit careful. I live in Scotland, where there are public rights of access laws, meaning you can go pretty much anywhere, but we still have to be sensitive about it. I also hike and camp a lot in England, where the laws are different and technically you're not allowed to camp without permission of the landowner – but it's usually ok if one is skillful and discreet, or just in a remote place.

Photos I've seen of Trailstars and Duomids in use show the gray to stand out quite a bit more than the brown. So I'd go with brown if the light's ok inside – good point above about the door! The green sounds nice too, I'll have a look.
