Here's a deep sea green that CLC has used on a number of boats:

And here's a black 'un:

White, anyone? http://www.clcboats.com/shop/boats/kayak-kits/mill-creek-16-5-hybrid-tandem-recreational-kayak-kit.html

Back in their scarf joint days, CLC used to typically paint their hulls, and their printed catalog was full of glossy shots of same (I think I remember a deep red one, too). Now that they use more precise panel joinery on their modern boats, it looks like most of their hulls get a bright finish. But that green is pretty spiffy, imho.
