Color Schemes

The simple graphic below represents the upper surface color scheme for the Sky Cima. I hope this approach is useful for getting a good idea of the colors when quickly comparing wings. Most paragliders have a basic wing color plus another color adorning the leading edge. Like other Sky paragliders, the Cima is just a bit different!



yellow and blue upper surface, all yellow lower surface
