All mine are green except for the one pink one I purchased. At night I have trouble seeing what I'm cutting so I especially use the pink one then.

I have three a green olfa turning mat a gray friskers and a pink friskers that I love; I love pink I even bought the pink olfa rotory cutter just because it was pink I wish that everything would be pink or more girlish since the magarity of there customer base is females you would think that they would want to capitalize on that I would.

I have green ones of all sizes but my favorite is my "33 X 58" white mat it fits on my sewing table. This one has taken the place of my other mats. I just bought a green rotating mat its small "12 X "12, it is great for the flying geese block.

I have used grey, green, and white. I like the white (actually cloudy) mat best. I know they are softer and do not last as long but I like the feel of cutting on it. The grey one is just too dense for me.

Most of my mats are gray. I have a couple bright blue Dritz but my very favorite is the translucent white that is the same size as my cutting table. The color of the fabric I'm cutting usually determines which mat I use...color contrast.
