String Silk Colors?

[Frank Martin]

Thomastik-Infeld Powerbass (RW) - Purple
One of the most stupid colours! Only pink could be worse...

[Boozy]

I bought a set of D'Addario XL's that were multi-coloured at the tuning pegs just like the Slowounds. Maybe I got Slowounds in XL packaging?

GHS pressurewounds have black silks. Another reason to love them.

what colour silks do Rotosound steve harris sig. flats have?
in a bass player road report they showed blue silks (makes sense with Harris' obsession with West Ham football club)
the standard Roto RS77's have red silks.

Found this thread, figured I would resurrect it rather than starting a new one.....
Going through my box, found a set of rounds with purple silk on both ends...in an earlier post it indicates TI Powerbass ?.....do they have silk on both ends?

Bought bass with white silk on tuner end of Low B.
Round-wound, .128,
feels like softer/lower tension than other 4 that are black-coated.
Really would like to get a new set, same as silk wrapped B.

Peavey Cirrus nickels - black
Lakland Nickels - Red

D'addario chrome flats- medium blue.

Also, a set of red silk wrapped round-wounds with
same spiral windings as D'addario chrome flats underneath.
D'addario's also?

DR Legends Flatwounds -- gold silk

Every set of D'Addario Chromes that we have (my wife is also a bassist) -- deep blue silk. We have Chromes on a 5-string and a short-scale Musicmaster bass and both sets have deep (navy) blue silk on the strings, as did the set of chromes that I recently took off of my P-Bass.

Here's the thread where most of this has already been covered, and with pictures.

Many Thanks, mmbongo.

+1 - and of course, Slo-Wounds are no longer available.

Rotosound Swing Bass steels - red silk.

Swing Bass nickels - blue silk.

Elites Stadium - dark blue/purple, hard to tell!

I don't see them here on any list but the silk on Alembic's strings are light blue.
