Can't unsee that one

I cringe when I see implements painted red white and blue, it
inevitably means theres an oversized diesel with a steel nutsack
hanging off the hitch somewhere nearby, and probably a low production
crew hungover operating it.
Paint it rust color so it always looks new

I am sure some would buy it just because it was red white and
blue. But some would brand me some kind of alt right company I am
afraid. Just like I judge a large pick up truck, rollin’ coal,
with a huge US flag or flying the stars and bars. I immediately
categorize them and start to plan my escape in the event of road
rage...
While I sometimes am a sympathizer to the right, I am more in the
middle on many issues. Perhaps my age has something to do with
it. I see more shades of gray now. When I was young, I was
almost a John Bircher.

Red white and blue?

I have a new product, larger than anything I have made before. It
is a self propelled grout mixer similar to the Ditch Witch R300
with a 1CM mixer attachment. I have some significant improvements
over their product but they both do the same thing and look a bit
similar. Our attach method between the grout mixing tub
attachment and the rest of the machine is almost identical to DW
to allow interchangeability between brands. Similar to a
universal skid steer attachment. This is a high demand machine
for the micro trenching world.
I am at the point where I have to choose a color for the machine.
I will avoid Ditch Witch colors. The John Deere trademark decision
says I could paint it green but not the same green with yellow of
JD equipment.
I hate to paint it the generic cat/JD/vermeer type of yellow that
everyone else seems to use. It is not agricultural so probably
not JD green. Not sure if Ford blue communicates solid USA made
good stuff. Thinking Kubota orange, but does that communicate
inferior Kubota? Years ago Kubota was truly inferior but now-a
days they make good stuff.
It will soon get lots of grout spatter on the outside. Almost
impossible to keep these things spotless. So darker colors will
emphasize the mess. Could paint it concrete gray to minimize that
but that does not excite me at all.
What color makes you think “solid, American Made, durable, good
value”?
