Does Camping Tent Color Matter? Very important! Many people ask what color tent to buy, the most suitable for spring and summer camping? Let me take you to find out.The colors of camping tents are roughly divided into two categories: bright colors (such as orange, yellow, green, white, etc.) and dark colors (such as black, dark blue, dark purple, etc.)

Different colors of camping tents will have different effects:

1. Bright colors will put you in a good mood

Bright and bright colors will brighten the light inside the tent, even when the weather has to stay in the tent for a long time, the bright color will keep you in good spirits. The light transmittance of dark tents will be poor, and the interior of the tent will be darker. But if you want to sleep in while camping, dark tents are a good option.

2. Dark tents will absorb more heat

When exposed to sunlight, some colors will reflect light better than others, and some colors will not reflect light at all. For example: white will reflect all wavelengths of light and absorb the least amount of heat, so if you want a cool summer camping, white camping tents are best; red camping tents will reflect all but the red spectrum (but note, Red light contains a lot of energy) Black camping tents will absorb all the light and all the energy they carry, so they are also better for winter camping. In terms of heat absorption capacity: black > purple > indigo > blue > green > yellow > orange > red > white

3. Blue best blocks UV rays

When camping on the beach in summer, UV protection is a big problem. In addition to applying sunscreen, a camping tent in the right color can help. A study abroad showed that blue provides the best protection against UV rays, while yellow provides the least protection.

4. Want to blend in with nature? Or is it easier to spot?

For most of us, the purpose of camping is to integrate with nature, so we also choose colors that are integrated with natural colors. For example, when camping in mountains and forests, we will choose green camping tents; while camping in deserts , will choose dark brown camping tents. Conversely, a brightly colored camping tent will make you easier to find, and an orange camping tent will make you visible from afar.

5. Bright colors attract more bugs?

Yes. Brightly colored tents always attract all kinds of bugs and birds, and they can be annoying. But only for small birds that do no harm, eagles are unlikely to enjoy attacking your tent. But if you're camping on the beach, you need to be careful - seagulls may be attracted to green and shiny things and may cause some damage to your tent.

From this point of view, bright colors and dark colors have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is better to choose according to the camping season and campsite. Then, according to the above detailed introduction, what color camping tent to choose in summer, I believe everyone can know.
