[Question] Are you a color snob?

[Hyzer Ale]

I usually bag bright discs, but my dirt colored swirly PD is such a good disc I still bag it

 

[joecoin]

I buy a lot of discs all at once at wholesale. Can't pick the colors but can select weight ranges of 4 grams.

I seem to have a lot of white by random.

I met a young guy who had a pink disc, when I chided him for throwing a "pink girlie disc", he protested that it was "coral".

 

[jdw80550]

I only have orange, blue , or pink discs.

I can have an all orange bag, all blue bag, or all pink bag.

Often, I have them set in alternating orders. Example orange, blue, orange, blue or pink, blue, pink blue. Never orange and pink.

Alternating colors help remind me if I lost a disc too.

 

[ranger]

yup

Give me blues, pinks, or white. These are a lot easier for my eyes to find.

I think anyone who bags dark green, red, orange or yellow is human garbage.

 

[Halcón]

I'm kinda partial to white discs.

This. It's one of the easiest to find, and looks so nice and clean.

I like white discs too. Unfortunately they become tan pretty quickly.

Yea. They tend to get stained and show scuffs easily. But it just adds character.

 

[Stable]

I like having lots of different colors in my bag so that they stand apart from each other. Always prefer bright & bold colors that stand out from the natural tones of a disc golf course. Never understood having only one color in your bag/cart. Would be really annoying to pick them apart.

I agree with others here about the dull swirlies. Not into that much.

 

[eman6854]

Pink and white for me would be all pink but they don't look as good in gold/fuzion so I go white

 

[BrotherDave]

Pink, orange, chartreuse, and white make up most of my bag. I don't mind a light blue or yellow either, helps break up the other colors in the bag so finding the disc I want is easier. The weird thing that I've noticed with my bag is that I subconsciously group colors together based on the hot/cold color spectrum.

 

[DanJon]

Red, White and Blue.

Seriously, but not necessarily for patriotic reasons.

 

[teemkey]

Here in the Pacific Northwest, discs often end up vertical in a fern. Bright colors are a must must have for must have discs.

 

[Casey 1988]

I try to stay away from colors that are hard to find for anything other then put aproach and putting discs,. I had Champion Valkyrie for 11 years that was blue, dumb color for one of my more used drivers with wasted time finding the disc. Also lost a Discraft XL that was clear right after getting it from the tournament due to its color. I do have the new green that Innova makes for a number of discs and that is way better then the old grass green that Innova had for discs in the 2000's. Only one disc is yellow a Star Valkyrie and it can be hard to find in some grass that is yellow and during fall. I avoid very dark color for putting putters as those colors get hot. I wish they did not make discs ever in hard to find plastics.

 

[Keller]

Only time I like white is open courses in the summer. When playing in the woods, I actually find white (especially base line plastic) to be a real pain in the a$$ to find. All those white circles from sun light filtering through the trees on dirt fairways makes finding a seasoned KC Roc a bother at times.

I dislike anything dark; red, blue, purple and any earthy tone. I never buy these colors and when I come across one in trade, I always save them for winter.

Also, Nothing Tie-Dye!

Favorite colors are Orange, Light blue, Pink, light green and yellow. Pretty much anything that stands out.

 

[smarkquart]

Color preference is going to be to each his/her own. It is so dependent on what you train your eyes to see. I cannot see red out of the corner of my eyes, and pick is not much better. But I can see yellow, especially chartreuse, a mile away. I personally like white, it films and photographs the best, but obviously there are numerous months a year that I cannot throw it.

For my everyday bag, I am a little more open to what colors I use, but it mainly is white, yellow, or orange. My tournament setup, however, that I am a complete snob, and since I could not find white in Innova/ Discmania G-Star line (T3 and PD), I went with an all yellow bag. My Luxury E3 bag is purple, so I am rocking the local football team's colors.

 

[robdeforge]

Favorite colors are Orange, Light blue, Pink, light green and yellow. Pretty much anything that stands out.

I think this describes me too, except orange becomes troublesome in the fall. I also unfortunately like champ plastic so pretty much all of those can be varying degrees of annoying to find

 

[elmexdela]

orange to red to purple to blue are acceptable

i will absolutely not bag clear white black green or yellow

 

[brentjacobs]

Pink - any time
Orange, yellow and red - spring-summer-winter
Dayglow - fall-early spring-winter
White - anytime but winter
Green, blue, purple, brown, clear - never
Black - only for putters

 

[Twmccoy]

I'm not overly picky on colors, but if I know I'm playing a weedy course during the summer I'll probably trend toward bright colored drivers. I actually do bag a couple tie dye discs, and one of them can be tricky to find at times. I watch that disc especially closely on tee shots and search for it diligently.

Optic yellow, orange, and pink are (IMO) the easiest to see colors.

The worst colors for me to see in dense foliage are red, purple, clear (urine) yellow, and black. Why they make clear dark yellow discs I don't know. You can't see them in undergrowth at all. Black too. Worst color ever.

During the winter here in CO you can throw pretty much any color you want. The weeds recede quite a bit and finding discs is much easier.

 

[ThomasOrion]

haah YESSSSSS! I'm a psycho - I only bag White discs, Black Putters typically - in winter I bag Blue discs - I do have some gray,white,black putters that I may switch around, but for the most park White in summer, Blue in Winter - Black/Gray Putters ----I keep it this way for a few reasons, #1) I ALWAYS know what I'm looking for and seeing the same color all the time its easier to spot MY disc when looking #2) Prevents me from buying TOO MANY discs haha - if its not white blue, black or gray I don't buy it #3) I like the look of consistency and it looks more professional than a rainbow bag to me (but have no care what others do)

 

[ThomasOrion]

I prefer dark putters as its easier to focus on the basket than whats in front of me - I like the subtly

 

[BuzzzChief]

Red, Pink, Orange, Blue/Aqua are the main colors that I'm throwing for drivers. Bright and easy to find. Would never throw green, black, tie-dye, or really clear discs. Normally no white either, since I'll play through the winter and don't use ribbons.

Mids and putters I'm more open to whatever feels good, not so worried about color. Typically they are not going so far off into the woods. I've thrown black, grey and green discs for years with no problem.
