best color for canopy

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

If the canopy is clear acetate or butyrate sheet, a lighter color such as 
light transparent gray, transparent candy apple green or transparent gold works 
well for visibility and in keeping the canopy intact in hot weather. 

If fiberglass, my personal preference is steel (medium) gray which for me is 
easier to see against most skies.
