Hmmmm, I hadn't even thought of that. I think the dark burnt orange would look pretty good. I was thinking maybe the tan sort of colour you see in the desert digital camo patterns. ???? .......Thanks GK.

Paul,
A neighbor just got a 2016 Colorado. It’s burnt orange. I took the picture near dusk causing it to look a little more red than it really is. It’d make such a beautiful xbow, maybe even the deer would appreciate it also.

Thanks Marcel, that's exactly the colour I was referring to. The flat dark earth. I really think that would marry well with any of the traditional m.o.b.u, r.t., advantage style camo patterns. The right shade of burnt orange would look great but the fear is in packing a shiny bright flag into the woods.

Be careful with FDE, there are 15 FDE's to choose from.

Cerakote makes there own, its my nice. Most people choose magpul.
But the Austrian FDE is pretty cool too.

You may be interested in coyote tan, if thats the route you are going.

I like the new bronze finish on the 308 but I also like that burnt orange that Easton put in their arrows years ago.

Burnt orange Sounds good. 308 short color, looks awful... It completely turned me away from wanting it. Sticks out like a sore thumb, and the reflection off of it will spook game. Especially in the bright Sunlight!
