So in the string market, I notice there’s not a lot of dark colors. And I know that straight up black probably isn’t the best for tricks, what about darker colors? Or blends of dark colors with some lighter ones? Here are some color blends I’m thinking of: - Black and White - Dark blue and Dark Green - Black and Tan - Dark variations of common blends such as red orange. Please give me your feedback on this. If people like the idea, I might start doing this and send some samples to people! Here’s an all black string I’ve done (keep in mind, this is my second string I will be making many more testing products): ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/2/8/22866d6b076e9d422be0975b50ace1759dae85c0.jpeg) _Poll ([view on site](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/would-you-guys-be-interested-in-this-idea-sample-packs/323514/1))_ 2 color combos completed! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/5/d/d5ded6277d9c1f2e67c29b25a26cbcc806fbbdc2.jpeg) ---

TBH dark string is really hard to see and my least favorite of all string colors. Even that shade of royal blue string that’s kind of popular is too dark for me. If you want to go this way, IMO you’ll need some lighter threads twisted in to aid visibility. BUT, I might be an outlier and maybe there is a market for this stuff! ---

In the right conditions a dark string is useful. The sun’s pretty kickin’ in South Texas. Against a bright backdrop it’d be just right. …or in the snow, but I’m from Texas - I’m not really sure what snow is😜… ---

I throw mostly alone, I don’t record or compete so I know my opinion is limited, but I like dark strings, even black. I prefer to match my strings to the yoyo. I understand string visibility is important when showing your tricks off but I personally cant stand the neon yellow strings on every throw. I use some black ones already and would definitely be interested in darker shades, or mixes of light and dark. ---

Perhaps dark blue or dark green mixed with tan. Or maybe brown mixed with red. Or gray and orange. I like the idea of darker colors but it’s true dark colors by themselves can be difficult to see, so a mix might be good. The lavender mentioned above mixed with gray might be nice. ---
