When purchasing a tent, it is easy to be overwhelmed by not only all the brands available nowadays, but also by all the different colors. While it may be tempting to buy a tent in your favorite color, it's a good idea to first consider how the different colored tents will affect your camping trip because, as it turns out, tent color does matter. That's not to say that any tent color is better than another, but that each one has different benefits and situations where it will perform best.

So, how can you figure out which tent color is best for your camping trip? It depends entirely on where you are going, what you want out of the experience, and what the weather will be like. For example, if you plan to camp mostly in cooler climates, it is better to purchase a tent that is a darker color because it will better absorb sunlight and keep your tent warmer. On the other hand, if you are planning to camp in the middle of summer in a warm region, you should go for a tent that is a light color because it is more likely to keep you cool and comfortable by reflecting sunlight.

I prefer not to be seen or noticed, so personally I would pick brown.

However.

Last year hunting elk in CO we ran into some hunters that lost their camp. No Joke. Apparently they had already set up camp the night before, woke up- went hunting for the day and couldn't remember where camp was. They eventually found it hidden away in the trees but long story short. If this is you- pick a red tent.
