Tony im glad that my jacket will also be future proof, bright orange haglof jacket... )

Bright colours are the way fwd... IMO. I was sick of seeing all the dull colours, black and grey, too boring.

I love the Haglofs Spitz jacket, particularly the red and blue but I saw a guy in the orange in St Moritz with brown sallos and it looked very nice.

Having said what I said, I do like a classic all black:

I go for the kit I can get a bargain on (within reason). Usually that means black!

Unlike a colleague of mine who took back his hire boots to swap for a different colour! Middle age does strange things!

Sorry to go off piste but totally disagree... there are plenty of places selling kit at good affordable prices these days. I went to the ski show at the NEC last yr and couldnt believe how cheap some of the kit was. Also Ellis brigham last yr were selling kit at the back end of their sale for next to nothing. North face pants for GBP50. discounted by GBP70. OK granted you cant always get your size but if your willing to look around and spend a bit of time researching then good deals on good kit can be found.

I remember my old gf saying "Blue and Green - should never be seen'
She considered herself a style icon.....i hate her now.

I feel that one of the liberating things about skiing is that you can get away with almost any combination of patterns and colours without anyone giving a stuff !

You were right to mock her it seems.

Just like to endorse this, with some evidence of big savings if you can get them, with some of my more recent purchases:

Black Bailo jacket - GBP80; rrp GBP349. TK Maxx
Red Nike ACG Sallopettes - GBP17; rrp GBP110. Nike outlet store
Green North Face jacket - GBP180; rrp GBP240. Ellis Brigham
Black North Face softshell - GBP82; rrp GBP199. North Face outlet store
Black North Face Sallopettes - GBP59; rrp GBP149. Onlie store in US
Red Dare2be paclite jacket - GBP25; rrp GBP110. TK Maxx

Ok so I didn't stumble over these bargains, but they're out there.
Interestingly, 50% of the gear IS black!!!!
