If the tent meets your needs that's what matters. However, if you're car camping you might want something darker. Bright colors get even brighter when you're hung over and fighting the dawn to stay asleep for another hour. Blue tents are great for afternoon naps, as well. Otherwise, I want a bright colored tent so it's easy for me, and everyone else, to see my tent. I don't want you accidently wandering into my site because you didn't see a tent, and I'd like SAR to easily make out my campsite. I'm not going out of my way to find a striped circus tent, but even the color blind can see a bright orange tent before a blue one.
