Simple question... Gray, light blue, or the sea foam green? I like the dark blue, but they all seem to be dark blue!
 
Dark Blue is what we chose. It's royal, regal and our nice yellow dingy and IoM colors are nicely complemented. Ask 1st mate for the decision. 🙂
 
My 02 cents is this...since the boat I have now is not my last I always shop with resale value in mind, in the case of a Ranger Tug I don't believe you go wrong with a beautiful midnight blue.
 
The dark blue and dark red look great but if your boat is going to be exposed to lots of southern sunshine, lighter colors will be less prone to fading. And darker hulls tend to be hotter. We bought our dark red 27 for use in North Michigan but will now have it year round in Florida. I expect to be doing lots of protective waxing.

We chose Hero Red as it looks great on the water and easy to see in most weather conditions so guess its safer 🙂
Well that's POV and we going to love her when she finally gets here to WA ( Western Australia) 🙂

Where the light colors go, I'm partial to the sea foam green and that beautiful buttercream yellow (not the brighter one) that David and Maureen used for Karma. And of the two, a bit more partial to the buttercream. Just one opinion.

i think the light blue is Awesome but all the paint is gone, the factory has no more :lol:

You would not like the attention the light blue gets even if the factory could get the paint 😎
Go with the dark be Regal and be like all those "other" boats or maybe you could get a little paint and join the Fun Southern crowd.
Have a ball with whatever you decide 😛 😛
 
Depending on how much you enjoy polishing and waxing, water spots and hot interior ... go with a darker color.
They really look good but they are a lot of work (or expense) to keep them looking ok.
 
I am leaning towards the sea foam green... Heading to the factory next week to get a tour and make my final decision. Thanks for all the input and ideas!
 
I've seen the Sea Foam Green on an R-29 a few weeks ago in Anacortes. 1st Mate and I thought it was very nice looking on the water.
 
We went with Midnight Blue on our R-29. Looks majestic and regal.
 
Excellent choice... 🙂 We are kindred spirits for sure.
 
I think the Sea foam Green looks great. I had even debated on it myself thinking that the lighter color would be easier to keep looking good. In the end I stuck with the ever popular Midnight Blue. Anjin-san if you go to the factory next week check on my baby (R-27) that should be being built. I'm counting the days till I can pick her up from Tommy @ Seagate Marine. 😀
