Colors
- 01-27: Solid colors
- 28-40: Multi-colored paracords
- 41: Ombre pastel
- 42-45: Paracord with glitter effect
With ombre pastel, it cannot be guaranteed which colors of the gradient will be included in short cuts like 0.5 m. For a clearly visible ombre effect, we recommend ordering several meters.
The glitter variants are particularly suitable for decorative applications such as keychains or embellishments on dog leashes. For jewelry or bracelets with direct skin contact, we do not recommend these variants due to potential friction.
