For me it depends on the season you hunt and what the ground is going to look like... i have a 6x8 blind that is painted black on the inside and white on the outside.. just because i start hunting more and more in the winter time... the best thing i think to do is set up you blind and see how it looks in the area if its obvious its there blend it in with the surrounding.. never hunted the blind the same day i give about 3 days for the animal to get used to it then its off to the arrows flying.
