It is a personal choice when it come to color and size. I sell black 3/16" and that is what I use on most of mine. Black on white stands out and make it easy to spot if your in trouble and looking for it.

But, as you see sometime I use paracord (from EBay usually) just because of the color choices. It is rather small and can be hard on the hands if you had to hang on to it long. To small for comfortable painters too. But big lines are ugly to me. So you just have to find something you live with.
