That's a great idea. I'm gonna try it out sometime. I'll have to get large enough pieces of cardboard. Think it's possible to cut out smaller pieces of mylar and attach them to card board that is folded into smaller sizes?

I feel outdoors black is better because you can go prone to vanish or silhouette into a bush or a rock. You don't fear light as much in black but blue is better indoors when blending is pretty much the only option besides staying out or a field of vision because quarters are so close.

Of course it also depends on your environment. Dark red gets the attention it does because it doesn't penetrate air as much as anything else.
