Best two colours

yippy · Post by **yippy** » 19 May 2007 03:52

What are the two best colours match together in a 32 that will last a pretty long time, don't break in too long, won't pill and plays very well? Also, are there any particular patterns that change the way the bag breaks in? In just the normal one the best?

i don't really know, but anything thatz bright and visible. like pink or bright green or orange or something. then whatever matches best i guess. thatz my 2 centz.

My favorite color combo that breaks in fast and lasts a good time is Flash Red and Pony Print.

i agree with flash red,

but pony is pretty crappy as far as bag life goes.

white it probably the best in my opinion, but it dosent really matter, bright is visible.

blue hawaii is bad for length. its pretty thin
so it tulip, any prints are bad, and green mist is really thin.

but a soft color or thin color will be a great choicey bag, it just might need some patching tape to keep on truckin.

so it doesnt really matter, just visibitlity matters. a bag will play better or worse depending more on the stitcher, not the colors of the footbag.

why 2 colours? A solid coloured bag is easier to see.

Not to sound like a jerk or anything, but I'm actually curious as to why there aren't more solid coloured bags. They're easier to see, and you're garaunteed to have consistant durability/flexibility throughout your bag. I haven't stitched in a while, but this is my oppinion.

I disagree Ben. Having a high-contrast 2 coloured bag is easier to see because then it is visible across both light and dark backgrounds.

But it's true about having the consistency of materials, however there are colours that share the same properties.

It's usually best to just let the stitcher do what they feel is best.

I think your opinion is wrong...a bag made with 2 complimentary colors makes the most visible bag, because the colors are complete opposites, like purple/yellow...red/green...orange/blue...it also depends on your playing surface too, if I play on asphalt I use a bright colored bag, if I play on some nice clean concrete I'll use a darker bag...thats my opinion

^stubs... the value contrast is what makes a bag visible... not color contrast. you could make a jade/green grape bag and itd be visible because of the color values.

my favorite two colors are green grape and punch. they ARENT complimentary colors (i guess theyre close but they arent). what i like about them is they make a durable bag thats soft and visible.

the pattern does effect the way a bag plays. obviously the most consistent are soccer balls and solid bags... but i personally think an atomic bag is consistent if you choose two colors that work well together.
also the blur pattern works well.

I think the two best colors (imo) is brown Baby Cougar and Splash Blue. Just think: you can make so many super dope patterns just by using two colors alone, divided by 6 pents and 10 hexes each. The reason why I chose a print color is so that the design concepts can match with the facile colors in trippy ways, as well as how Baby Cougar of this variant matching very well with the very bright Splash Blue.

Or, you know, you could replace Splash Blue with ultrasuede soft Tulip. The feel may be different, but brown and yellow make a very defining contrast, and you don't have to fuss about fabric thinness and whatever. Stitchers shouldn't be obligated to use only ultrasuede light; the world is your oyster!

And yeah, Baby Cougar is STRONG. It's now my favorite print to use these days.

Imperial blue + marmalade = butter

Other than that...Just find what suits you best man.

There's no such thing as best colours.

It's all just talk and speculation.

Holes happen. Deal with it. Pick it up with your hands, wash them, and buy tape to patch holes as they come so they don't get too big to be irrepairable.

Have a rotation of bags to play with so bags don't get destroyed before they hit their prime.

I don't get the logic here. They're not gonna break themselves in. If you have a rotation, its just gonna take them longer to hit their prime.

Oh and I don't know the exact color, but I had a bright yellow panel that got holey really quickly even though I treated the bag with utmost care.

Possibly Tulip... In a Greek battle against the Persians, Tulip would be the deformed hunchback that is the weakest Spartan and ruins the entire army. ...army=bag

Tulip sucks.

rapture rose, midnight, green mist, dark jade, flash red, blue hawaii, petit pois, jaguar, country cream, stone gray - in varying amounts of each.

Sweet! No more Marmalade available though

White and white!

Solid white is visible against both light and dark backgrounds because shadows can cause even pure white backgrounds to look off-white.

Pure white bags should be a staple for all stitchers to ensure the highest spectator visibility when freestyling.
