I have seen guns in various colors but usually prefer your basic black.....here is an idea why it might be useful to have a multicolored gun in a different color scheme...from no less a teacher than Massad Ayoob....

Let me share another bit of Mitch Vilos’ wisdom. I am not exactly the world’s biggest fan of pastel pistolas. However, Mitch revealed that his current concealed carry pistol in his stomping grounds of Salt Lake City is a purple-color SIG-Sauer. Mitch, like others of us in this business, has seen more than one case where someone has claimed the defendant pulled a gun on him when he didn’t. Mitch likes the idea of being able to say to the investigating officer, “Ask the complainant what color the gun was that he says I pulled on him.” If the liar doesn’t say “purple,” Mitch has a strong reinforcement of the truth that the guy never saw a gun at all and is making up a story.
Damn…live and learn. That’s the first good reason I’ve come across for carrying a handgun of a non-traditional color. And learning, of course, is what I came for.
