No, color is not that important. When discussing functionality, it doesn’t really matter which color your pants are – as long as they are made of high-quality materials that can guarantee you stay protected once you hit the snow. This being said, we all like to have matching ski equipment. It’s excellent if a manufacturer gives us enough color choices so we can match the pants to the color of our skis or helmets, so we can look better while riding.
Another reason to choose a certain color may be practicality. If you have darker-colored pants (black, brown, green), an added benefit is that it won’t show right away when they get dirty, so it won’t annoy you. On the other hand, brightly-colored pants (pink, yellow, neon green) significantly increase visibility. Other skiers will see you better, and the rescue services will spot you sooner if you’re in trouble.
