I seem to like solid black kites with a touch of red. They draw my attention at least? Like the Libre .
I saw an LEI in Florida that looked similar. Pretty sure it was a Cabrihna?

Then there will always be the all white Silver Arrows but that is an old colour scheme.

For sheer "yeah, we're secure enough to even put zaftig bunnies on our kites" whimsy factor, the Wainman Rabbit series has a lot going for it.



Of the Ozones, I like the Pure and Yakuza GT which have retained the swoopy lines instead of opting for the more angular lines. The color scheme (Dark Grey, Red, Orange) shared by the Pure, Flow and earlier Frenzy was wonderful.



Matrixx? Meh... like the panel layout, but still too much white in 2012 for my tastes. Prefer the 2013 colors

Sam

These colors are cool.

But are they for real? These are the 2013 Matrixx colors?

:ninja: Yes, I am having a laugh. :lol:

But the 7 minute response time must mean it struck a chord. Hopefully HQ takes note.

Admit a fondness for darker stealth fighter colors with "marker light" accents in a constrasting color.

The "doctored" Matrixx colors were offered up by Black Fox on a German kite forum.

White should only be an accent color on kites, if there at all. I must say my Vapors with the Orange/Blue/White combo are eye catching as well.

Snake .... yes ... I like the way Gin make theirs kites ..... thats way I use them .... my Yetis in full black with small color accent look awesome in the sky ..... and new Sherpa with bright colors look attractive too ....
My best looking kite that I own is green Zulu III ...

I do need to agree that WH rabbit series is very nice .... Naish look good too ..... and I love that PKD Century Soulfly II (Team Rider Colors)..... awesome ......
FS unity did look very cool when Arron use it on one buggy session..
I think in general ... High aspect kites look way better then low aspect ...
Black as a major color make most kites look good
Blade VIP is another black beauty
Wolkenstuermer Electra
I am sure there is more

Cool. is that a 2009? I have the cult with one green and one yellow wing tip and the green and black Bolt.

The sigma shape looks great from the rider perspective doesn't it?

And the performance... anyone who dismisses sigma kites as a gimmick has never flown one!

The Black and Green P2, those wicked Black Yeti's with accent colors, anything with black as the primary and red or another color as the accent......

I would def spring for a Matrixx if those colors where the ones available for purchase......even more so if the accent color was Ferrari Red......

how about zebra kites?

I don't know if I would say they are the best looking kite, but there is something kind of cool about the asymmetrical color design.
