We went through the same. But having swam in turbine fuel on occassion certain body parts are more sensitive than others with arms at the bottom of the list. The other issue we had in some locations was the sheer ambient temp that would heat up the ramp, the aircraft, and even our tools. Had a couple guys got "burned" by leaning against a black pole. Our compromise was uniform color. Tan over gray was remarkably cooler. It's what we went to.
