G-suits - other than green?

[Phil_R]

Silly question of the day - I promise there's method in my madness.

Do G-suits come in any colour other than green? Even well-funded Americans seem to wear green over their desert tan flying suits.

Would like to find blue. NASA seems to wear blue flying suits for various functions, and as far as I know has had G-suit-eligible aircraft in the past.

Given the lack of knee pads etc I think that was an 'undie' g suit (worn under the 'old' style immersion suit) although never seen an RAF one in blue though!

Interestingly they appear to have done an all in one G suit and flying overall

In days of old, pressure jerkins were a slate blue canvas and the g-pants also skate blue. We also had white AVS as popularized on Dr Who before the Daleks.

That suit in Nuttys link looks more like a Mk6c than a 4.

I saw a hi-gloss red patent leather one. It was in a store in San Francisco.
