Care and storage:

Chartreuse — bright, high-visibility colour for attracting attention in stained water and low light. Useful when you need a reaction strike.
Cappuccino — mid-brown coffee tone that offers balance between natural and visible. Good all-round choice for mixed beds and variable light.
