Modern tent manufacturers offer a plethora of tailoring services to their customers. You can choose your favourite graphics, dimensions and colour scheme for your tent. And this brings us to the topic of our discussion – does the colour of a custom tent matter?

Yes, it does, if you are planning to impress potential customers in tradeshows, or looking for a safe shelter from UV radiations.   

Research suggests:

Ø  Dark shades are perfect for absorbing UV radiations. So, you need dark coloured tent canopies to keep yourself safe from UV radiations on sunny days.

Ø  But dark shades also absorb the sun’s heat quicker than lighter hues. So, the inside of your tent will get hot in glaring sunlight.  

Ø  Lighter shades like white or light yellow, on the other hand, are naturally reflective. So, they will keep the heat out, but allow the UV to pass through. That can have adverse effects on your health.

Ø  That means, you need to strike a balance between light and dark, when it comes to the safest shades of colours.

Ø  Blue, red and orange achieve exactly that. They absorb most of the UV radiations in sunlight and let the right amount of heat to pass through the canopy fabric, keeping the inside of your tent comfortable in all weather conditions.

Tips to choose the right colour for your tent

Tip 1

For summer, go for bright shades of red, orange, blue, green or yellow.

Ø  These colours provide optimum protection from the UV rays and heat.

Ø  Your tent becomes easy to spot in the wilderness.

Tip 2

If you are intent on camping outdoors in extreme summer conditions, you can go for a white canopy.

Ø  The colour white will reflect most of the sun’s heat and keep the inside of your tent cool and comfortable.

Ø  But the trade-off is that you will have to do with reduced protection from UV.

Ø  Besides, white tents tend to look dirty easily.

Ø  But on the bright side, white tents have a quaint charm to them.

Ø  In fact, white event tents look gorgeous in evening parties and shows, in the presence of ambient light.  

Tip 3

Late autumn, winter, and early spring calls for dark coloured tents.

Ø  Sombre shades like black, brown or grey absorb the sun’s heat and keep the inside of your tent warm and comfortable.

Ø  They also absorb most of the ambient UV radiations, keeping you safe from its clutches.
