    From what I have learned is you could paint it blaze orange and it won't make a difference. Just get it into the field as soon as possible so they are used to it. I paint mine with whatever color was in the mess up bin and cheap

              Trees, shrubs and grasses in Freer are a lighter shade of green due to the PH level of the soil and mineral composition. The PH varies in different areas, even around Freer. Before you decide on a color for your hunting blind, you will probably need to take a soil sample, collect it in a zip lock bag, then put the zip lock in a vacuum sealer. Take the vacuum sealed bag to the post office and complete the Biological Matter form 2589-R and mail to Texas A&M Agrilife for soil testing. It should take about 2 weeks. After you receive the results, you should get with The County Ag Extension and contact their locally recommended Master Gardener. Give them your results from the Agrilife testing and have them grow a seedling Mesquite in one container filled matching your soil PH and then have them Transplant and/or Graft a Cactus into another soil container for continuity. This should give you a good starting point in deciding what color to paint your blind. Hope it helps.

                Yup, I just picked up about 5 half used gallons from the City of Round Rock recycle place Wednesday. They are all different colors and I'm going to just mix them in a 5 gallon bucket and paint my new blind whatever color it comes out.

                  Paint it to match your bow.

                    I would go digital or multicam. That would look cool.

                        If your blind is tall and out in the open, paint it a lighter grey to match a cloud covered sky. If your blind is not tall and blends into the brush, then an olive green.

                            lets see here, the 2 sides of my blind are brown to black, and the front and back are red, mainly because that's all the reject paint i had, blind color doesn't matter one bit, the deer know it is there anyways
