colors
I posted my pictures here. Red in middle then orange then yellow on the tips. The bottom i put red on one half and yellow on the other half I thought they were different enough that it would be very easy to tell what was what. But when it starts to roll the colors all blend into a blur and you cant tell up from down. So what BAGOSTIX says about making them different is critical. That black tail will look like the black stripe on the bottom. I would use totally different colors top and bottom plus very simple pattern on the bottom. The stripes will not be distinguishable as has been said before. I would leave most of the bottom white and just paint the tips. This is just my opinion not telling you what to do.
