What is the best G10 color for the Military?

What do you all think is the best color for the Military's G10? I would go for orange, but I really like that Dark Blue/Midnight Blue on the S110V. I would love to have something like that with orange liners, or orange with smurf blue liners.

what do you all say?

I'm really liking the green in my KW Millie, so it gets my vote.

Dark gray and all shades of blue are good too though.

I like black G-10 for the Spyderco Military... it gives the knife a standard military look.

I'd like a dark gunmetal gray or a darker khaki tan color, otherwise I tend to be just fine with black.

I like the forest green a lot. I love the Ti and the Fluted Ti too. The dirty grey of my Cruwear looks good to me.

I really like the green of the KW 204P. That is the best version of the Millie so far, IMHO...In fact, I almost bought one even though I've had other Millies before and ended up never carrying them because they're a bit too big for my needs. It's just that nice.

*edit: It looks like it's still in stock, which is hard to believe!

Army Green for the Military would be cool, voted for Forest green over Foliage as I like the darker better.

I chose dark charcoal gray (or "grey" for you Europeans :p) as I think it would kick things up a notch on the Military platform.

I really like the Green for some reason, always have. I especially like the green Spyderco used on the 204P series and the Spyderwolf. I would be very happy to see more of it. The other color I like is the Cruwear stuff, (military, M2) not sure what we are calling that but I call it tan or would it be light brown, maybe earth color. It would be killer to see a Cruwear Yo2 and PM2 drop eventually.
Happy to be part of this great forum and group of down to earth spyderco addicts, Thanks Sal and gang.

+1 on the Titanium and Fluted Titanium...! Love the looks, enhanced durability, and RIL that both provide.

I voted for the "Digital Camo". And before I owned and used one I never really was all that big on camo type stuff of any type. But that Digital Camo really grows on you and oddly enough even seems to be sheeple friendly. I've actually gotten quite a few compliments on my M390, Digital Camo, C-36 Military model.

But I also love the Brown handle I have on my XHP Military and I've wanted a MILLI with a nuclear orange handle for some time but I've never found one with any blade steel except S30V which I'm not extremely fond of for a lot of reasons. But most of Spyderco's selection for handles/scales on the C36 Military model have been really eye appealing for the most part. It's just one of Spyderco's models that continues to grow on me.

I sure wish the C-60 Ayoob enjoyed the same popularity as the C-36 Military does. Because I would love to see that knife with a wide array of handle colors and handle materials along with different blade steels just like they've done with the Military model.

I am a bit surprised that the forest green is so popular. Of course, this is a small sampling. It is a nice color, though.

Actually that doesn't surprise me at all. Because it's the color of that latest Sprint Run and it's been talked about a lot lately. However I am surprised that so few people chose the "orange" selection>> because for work purposes I think those nuclear colored Spyders definitely have their advantages.

I don't know why but I really think the millie looks great in brown. I don't like most of the other brown knives spyderco has offered, but I think it works on the millie/PM2. I'm always on the lookout for an old XHP sprint, but they never pop up for a reasonable amount.

Orange would be a close second. The forest green is cool too.

I was surprised about the orange, as well. I thought it would have been the top one or two choices.

Any earthtone for me. When I want to be sure I can find it when I put it down I will use a bright lanyard, otherwise I don't like bright colors that attract eyes. Dark gray, brown, CF, dark green, all good. Smurf blue required required a scale-swap. I am ok with the light gray on the Cruwear because I love Cruwear. Not a fan of metal handles at all. Too cold in winter.
