Why did Hobie discontinue using orange in their kayaks? It seems like one of the safest colors and is easier on the eye then yellow. Any plans to bring it back?

I had an orange Mirage Sport. I think the color was called Mango. I thought it was great and so did most of the folks who saw it. Blue, red, and yellow are BORING.

Yup the "Mango Papaya" colour is the one to go for if you want hi visibility - it's kinda like a tasteful (to my eye) half way between out & out yaller & out & out orange.
