Tank Waterproofing Color?

[earthstudent]

I am wondering what color people would prefer for a waterproofing coating for building plywood tanks. If you prefer another color than what is listed please vole OTHER and post the color you would prefer. These are Sherwin Williams colors. I did not post the color name as not to distract you from making an honest choice. None of them are named Ocean Blue (they don't seem to have one with that name) but these are the ones I think people would like the most. Please let me know if I am wrong.

You may choose more than one. For instance if you prefer Black, I would also like to know which blue you like the most.

1. Black

2. White

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8. Other

So have you reached any decisions on color? I'm starting to finalize my water proofing search and need to buy something soon.

I was surprised to see the poll results.

I hope Greenterra doesn't mind me posting his video of his plywood tank, but, I think this video sums up what color looks best-

Greenterra's tank is amazing. As much as I am tempted to go with blue backgrounds just to try them, I have never been disappointed in black.

Yes, Black is by far the leader and I think rightfully so. The Wetsuit product is black so you will need nothing else to get black as the final color so it is also the cheapest rout.

As for colors there will be 2 options. The color coating product comes naturally in white, so white will be available and since the most voted blue was Sherwin Williams Dynamic Blue (sw 6958), that will be the the color of blue offered.

White and Dynamic Blue will be sold by the gallon, no minimum order.

You can still get any other color you want but there would be a 100 gallon minimum order so you would need to be doing a large project to need that much.
