Check this out. http://www.nzitrap.com/Nzi_trap/Fabrics/Blues.htm It seems that the Phthalogen Blue that is used to dye Sunbrella Pacific Blue, and of which 90% of the Biminis in the world are made, is the 1 nanometer off from the optimum wave length for attracting biting insects. Entomologists even use it to build insect traps. Thank goodness I just finished sewing my Bimini and dodger in Terracotta. That's for "Pacific Blue", how about "Royal Blue", probably more common.
