Has anyone heard of color dying magazines?
Here is an article that just hit my inbox... I figured at least someone here might be interested in this.
Click the link to see the results of using Rit Color Dye (a test of 25 different colors) to dye sand color magazines.

yeah, I think this was one of the reasons that Magpul introduced the sand color magazines.
BTW, I hear you can spray paint them, too. :)

All colors except for black.
Magpul came out with an article ... circa 2 years (?) ago. Said they aren't producing anymore colored mags. So what you see now, is whatever is left from distributors/dealers.
Unless they said they were restarting the colored line; but that would be news to me then.
Dude ...
they make muddy girl wraps for that purpose

I believe the actual issue with the colored mags was that the dye process would yield less strength/more brittleness to the polymer. Black and no color (ie, netrual/Sand) didn't have these issues. The FDE/tan PMags were the worst, according to Magpul. As a result, they stopped the color mag production and offered the Sand color so that it could be dyed/painted any color but still have the highest strength/most ductile property.

Doesn't break my heart... Magpul is becoming more of a Corporate entity, which could be their ultimate demise. Many larger companies have deviated from their original mission and been left sorely wanting their former success. SKU's, Logistics, all the dollar bill-speak of the bigtime. This is why there are no masadas, yet plenty of T-shirts and former staple items are being cut to make more belts. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't have to be a loyal customer if they don't offer what I want.
