I was reloading my balloon apron yesterday, and was wondering what is the least used balloon colors in other enterainers bags/aprons?
I carry double of White, Pale Blue, Pink, Lime Green, and Black, but the least
used color in my bag is ? Quartz Purple? Dale ------------- Walk around entertainment at it's best! www.mbd2.com |

| The least used color in my apron
would probably be the clear 260's. Although they are great when i
put a glowstick in them, the kids usually want something with some
color to it.... Dan the Balloon Man |

I use tons of Quartz Purple and tons of Clear (for games, mainly and insect wings)...my least used color would be Silver.

| My least favourite colour is
Jewel tone yellow you know the bog standard see-thorough one. this
is because when I want to use a yellow the q'tex solid yellow or
golden rod always work better on almost everything. Although the
normal yellow is good for stuff inside balloons. I like doing my swords and metal stuff in silver and I love the diamond clears. I usually use the clear balloons for things that aren't there! If I want a bird flying , a dolphin jumping thourgh a hoop or a puppet controlled by sticks the clears come into play. |

| The color I use the least of is
probably black or clear. I still use them up because I'm always
practicing something new and if I'm the only one who will see
it...who cares. In my world tree's are not always green and the sky is not always blue. Imagination is an unused commodity for too many people! Lets liven em up!

Black I use for motorcycles, Micky Mouse, Cats, Dog ears, never have enough black. Here is an idea for the clears - Basketball game, this was made at mbd2.com balloon jam 2 http://www.mbd2.com/balloonjam.htm - http://www.mbd2.com/balloonjam.htm
This is a basketball game. Inside the clear balloon is a rubber ball. Pull on the balloon and the balloon shoots over and into the hoop. ------------- Walk around entertainment at it's best! www.mbd2.com |

| Hmm I do alot of little
carnivals full of all ages and the least used color is *Hums
Jeopardy theme* Clear and White except when the kids see some
elaborate sculptures made out of clear they want it but otherwise
when you say "What color do you want?" what kid who hasn't seen many
balloons before says "Clear/Invisible...like plastic!"
Another thing is I'm trying to think of a certain look I'm only XX and doing balloons for parties, my uncles ersturant, church shows, etc. But I have another party and I'm thinking of something consistent that I will wear everytime. I don't want to look jerky nor do I want to wear a Tux (I'm still growing so a tux won't last long  )
Just any thoughts on this would be handy

For me the color I don't use anymore is the Amethyst. I also
don't use the neons very often even though I do like them. I just
can't get the guests to request that color enough. AND I won't make
Barney!!!!!! Quartz Purple is another very slow mover in my apron. As is the blush. The blush is used when I make people, but i can't do a decent enough human in under two minutes so I don't but I will use it for camels and other requests, even the bulldogs! ------------- Care To Share!

it's a cool bulldog design. Rick
held a 'can you copy my bulldog just by looking at it' competition
at the T-jam which was won by some big scruffy irish dude. I have a
nack for speedy plagerism  |

He did a very good job of it too! I am going to include it in the "People and Super Heroes!" book if there is enough room for it! So hang in there! I am working on getting it done soon!!!!! The design background is this: I was asked last year about a bulldog and made one that was big but not detailed enough for me. Then I was told about a MACK Truck Company Picnic that was in the works, but didn't come through. I was developing a one balloon one that could be done in a line. My wife was hired to do some face painting for a car dealership's company picnic so I was killing some time at a McDonald's not too far away from her and developed the present design! When the book comes out, hope you like them! ------------- Care To Share! Rick Mohr The Balloon MAN! www.RickMohr.com www.BLUNIVERSITY.com |

Use the silver in a braid, Sliver or Gray, Back, White for Chicago White Sox Colors. I also use the silver for motorcycles and swords. ------------- Walk around entertainment at it's best! www.mbd2.com |

I use the Neons for butterfly wings, peole like the Amethyst balloon as a flower, and lately I have been using blush for a horse, with brown as the mane. ------------- Walk around entertainment at it's best! www.mbd2.com |

i dont use much of any kind of green... only kids who like a football team with a green uniform color asked me for a green balloon. have any of you tried to put a 160 into a clear 260? i did it when a kid asked for a balloon inside a balloon and i didn't have any round balloons, the 160 goes in very easally but the qwalatex pump could barely handle the two balloons at a time, but after you inflate the 160 the 260 is very easy to inflate with your mouth. ------------- juggler and balloon twister |

I agree with Rick I use the
Amethyst color the least. But I still carry a few of them just in
case! I am making an effort to pack lighter and still have
everything I need. ------------- More then just dogs... |
