Colour of polyethylene cover and Temperature Reduction Capability:
Note: Green/Silver is the coolest colour however anecdotal evidence suggests white/silver has a longer life due to the higher reflective properties of white. Beware of light blue fabric as the blue light generated can inhibit depth judgement leading to an accident prone environment (this is why public bodies sometimes use blue light to dissuade junkies from shooting up in public amenities.)
