Certain colors better when CC?

Are there certain colors and/or patterns that help conceal "printing" when CCing?

Darker is always better.

Dark colors and vertical stripes help.

Spare tire, oh wait, that's an accessory, not a color.

as already stated, darker colors work better. black is great. dark colors hide shadows and outlines.

also, any kind of pattern will help break up the outline of the gun...just like applying camoflauge to yourself....break up the outline.

dark hawaiian shirts are actually about the best things going for concealing a gun...not that i ever wear them, but, they are perfectly suited for the task.

Attitude would probably help most of all. If you're confident, friendly, and non-confrontational, people won't be looking for weapons anyway.

And just for the record, there is no law in Pennsylvania that prohibits printing or having one's gun visible in any way... in case that's part of the reason for the concern about printing.

Well a color isn't going to change the shape of the gun so no. If your talking about your shirt riding up or something i'd say a tan or OD green might suit your needs a bit better by blending into your attire than just a black.

it does not change the shape of the gun, but it does effect how much the printed outline of the gun stands out.

it is harder for your eye to pickup ridges, etc. in dark colors...especially with patterns...than in lighter colors (especially without patterns).

just like applying camoflauge to your face doesn't change the shape of your face, but does makes it harder for the human eye to pickup the outline of the face (the nose, cheekbone lines, etc.)
