Color Schemes

The simple graphics below represent the available color schemes for the Wings of Change Isis. Most paragliders have a basic wing color plus something different adorning the leading edge. The Isis is a little different in that the upper surface is a solid color and the lower surface is white with a super-imposed pattern.

red upper surface, white lower surface with blue pattern

orange upper surface, white lower surface with black pattern
