If I remember correctly Ray Jardine devoted some time to the subject of using whatever was serviceable and cheap. He talked about weird colors which he used just because they were cheap and available. Folks are out there to enjoy the outdoors and should not be out there to make a fashion statement. For me and most other folks there is a limit to how weird our choices can be and also what our budget can stand. Obviously given a choice between chartreuse pants and neutral colors at a reasonable price break most of us will go for the neutral color but if it is a difference between wearing weird colors or staying home the better choice is to just ignore the fashion police.
