It depends on the shoes that I'm wearing, and where I'm going out for the night.
I also make sure to coordinate it with my fanny pack and shemagh.
Gotta look FIERCE, you know!

It depends on what purse I am carrying or which vehicle I am driving to the fashion show. I don't like the clashing.

At my LGS they have 30 grey pmags for 5.56 for 18.99. Asked them about more products and told me they have them on the way.
Looks ok to me but I like fde or black.

My sentiments exactly.
As for the poll, I don't care what color my furniture is because I spray paint the whole rifle anyway...

Hi there fellow heretic! 
Honestly, I really don't care- but if I have the spare time and money to color coordinate, I'm going with FG or FDE, simply because I find straight black boring.

FDE or ODG or grey.
Target indicator black is OK. Not fond of foliage green.

I like OD green, but then again green is my favorite color. And realistically, to be honest, it really is not going to matter for most in most situations.
The urban grey would be interesting just to be different too.

I too like the OD. However, rattle can is the way to go.

I loved FDE until my wife's Foliage Green rifle was complete. In person the FG does not stick out and makes the rifle extremely non-descript.
Follow-up question: Is any color a better foundation for spraypainting?

Sometimes a dark base color will make the color painted over it dull. For example, yellow applied over black will not be as bright as yellow applied over white. White primer tends to make colors pop. Grey will have a neutral affect, depending on how light or dark the grey is
