Change the accent color on a drysuit?

[swimmingsheep]

Hello everyone,
Since my last post I've still been searching for a drysuit. I have a friend that is trying to sell hers since she just found out her doctor won't clear her for diving. Everything fits and looks great, it just needs new seals. With the price she is asking, I can hardly pass it up... Except for the fact that the accent color is blue, and the rest of my gear is twilight purple. I'm very OCD when it comes to color coordination. Everything has to match. I hate to sound like a snob when I ask this, but is there a way I (or my local dive shop, or possibly the manufacturer) could swap out the fabric? I'd prefer purple but I would settle for black. It's a USIA trilaminate back zip, probably about a year old.

Black permanent maker?

Since color is so important to you, have you considered what the color(s) you choose will look like at depth? Colors at the red end of the spectrum change a lot even in very shallow depths.

If it's black inside maybe you could wear it inside out.
Just have someone reach in through the arm holes to zip it for you; it will be a great way to get to know people.

Sadly, there really is no way to change the color accents on those suits.

You don't sound like a snob............

When you go deep enough, purple turns into blue.

….and this is a serious question?…
Shouldnt ya be more worried about your skills or who your diving with and their skills ?
Im very curious about where you dive and what makes you happy about diving. Please explain.
Obviously you dive in very clear water to be so concerned about how you look.:blinking:
