Color Schemes
The simple graphics below represent the available color schemes for the Swing Cirrus 4. 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 something different adorning the leading edge. You might be able to get a detailed look at one of the color schemes from the manufacturer's picture further down this page.
blue leading and trailing edges
light blue leading and trailing edges
yellow leading and trailing edges
red leading and trailing edges
