Windshield color

I believe I have a medium Grey 2064 UDP color now. My shield needs replacement and I was wondering what color windshields people have switched to. I was going to keep it all original but I don't think it maters much. I use this boat on a river and not in the salt water so I am in shaded areas often. Any thoughts? Thank You.

On the other hand, the dark colors are better at hiding the beer from the marine police. I winter in Ft. Myers and summer in St. Joseph, Michigan. It’s now about 12 years since I’ve joined this group. I gave my 1972 whaler to my daughter and sold the 17’. Bought an O’Day 28 sailboat and sailed on Lake Michigan. Yesterday I bought a 2005 130 Sport.

The key # is CH751 its a standard key on rv's as well. I guess I will stay with the medium shade. I don't know how that marine green would look.
