Takoon Kite Colors

I just bought a new Takoon 17 Swoop II. After I ordered it, they realized they had sold it to two people. They sent me one directly from the distributor, but it is the tan/bright red color combo (See Takoon.com). My first impression is that it's really ugly. They'll trade me for a different one, but they say it's the most demanded color combo. Supposedly, it looks great in the air. Does anyone know? Are they just selling me a kite? Leaning towards trading it, but want other opinions.

That looks like a similar colour scheme to the kite Mike (The flying scotsman) has. Theres nothing wrong with it, but I guess it does look a little washed out. Personally I prefer the red and yellow colour scheme. But if you managed to get it at a good price then the colour isn't REALLY that important.
