We have both. The tent we normally use is a dark grey/blue color that seems to fade into the background a lot of the time. But we also have a larger 3-man tent that is bright yellow.

When my wife gets up in the middle of the night, she has been known to wander off and not be able to find the tent again.

I keep a light on for her now!
