Exactly what I'm thinking. Thanks!How about a tan-ish khaki?

Wait you want your jacket to match your skis?I have a new color dilemma! I jumped in with both feet and bought skis (also a bargain on STP).
Here they are (2016-17 Blizzard Quattro 72 at 153 cm):

Clearly, this purple jacket is NOT going to be quite right for these red-and-black skis. I have light gray ski pants, very neutral. Dear BF has a lovely black jacket with red trim; hmm, wonder if it fits?
I'm not crazy about red and black, though. I want a bright color, so I'm not mistaken for snow or a tree. Not sure I want to be mistaken for a giant red thing, though. Any color ideas?
Thanks, ladies!
Wait you want your jacket to match your skis?
Ech, not me. I hate being coordinated. Northeast weather is so fickle, I like to be able to grab whatever works for the conditions and not worry too much about color clashing or matching.So..... is there going to be "I'm such a Color Coordinated Skier Slut" thread?
Wait you want your jacket to match your skis?
My question, too. That's a bridge too far!
Any color ideas?
Thanks, ladies!
Well, yeah. Any color you might find on a Skittle (see profile pic) ;-)
And your skis should be covered in a layer of snow, anyway, so their color doesn't matter!
True. I should calm down. I do love that Skittles Igneo jacket, though!
It's only $119? Maybe you should get it.. Certainly you need more than one jacket. BTW my orange Blizzard Sambas go with nothing... Now my new Black Crows might look good with some things I have....Hey! I just don't want it to clash! Purple with yellow zippers on the jacket, black and red on the skis? Yuk.
Okay, maybe I am going too far. After all, the point of buying those skis was at least partly the bargain price.
But then, I remembered this jacket from the slut thread:

OH yeah! NOW tell me my purple jacket will do just fine!
This is the OR Igneo jacket on STP for $119.

Yes, only $119. I see it for $349 at Moosejaw.
Part of the problem is I strongly dislike the black and red topsheet design. So nobody can accuse me of choosing the skis because they are pretty! . . . The purple jacket isn't going to improve the look.

Also, may I intrude on your thread to ask similar advice?
That's exactly what I was going to say! Glad I read further down the thread before posting.And your skis should be covered in a layer of snow, anyway, so their color doesn't matter!
