    I am looking for a nice color design for a badminton racquet in a color or combination of colors and patterns that appeal to both sexes. Any help will be appreciated.

    Men like macho blue, ladies pink. Maybe it is not as simple as that, but need something original, not copycats.
    A complete drawing in colour would be more useful.

    I think blue is a pretty safe colour for both sexes. White is nice but rare, especially if you're into YY.

    the blue mp88
    the red mp100
    the red at700 (the new should have better appeal)
    the metallic blue and gold ns9000

    I have seen one racket with the brand 'RS' which I was told was a "branch-out" of RSL :)confused: ). It was painted with a very nice natural wood colour and wood lines that make the racket looks like a wooden racket. It gives you a very nostagic feeling. It impresses me a lot.

    Is it possible to use colours to convey to the beholder that the racquet is something new, a pioneering synthesis of design and materials that have never been attempted before?
    I am more inclined to blue, or blue/yellow/green.

    anything with black...
    similar to the Armortec900 power colour scheme... a deep red like the mp100 was always attractive... only you need some other colour contrasts in there to break up the design.

    edit: wanted to add that some of the Sotx items that have been depicted by Master Dan (broken... but still get to see the designs LOL), have seemed fairly nice as well.

    if it's for your new racquet design colour, i'd say white and light blue like badminton central border/ background colour. Starting with blue at handle and eventally to all white head.
    that means if you're wearing white shirt and white string, your opponent can't see the head if you pupt it against your body :p
