Colored fanny packs make sense, if "tactical black" is a giveaway to people who know what to look for. I have a Bianchi "Top Secret" fanny pack in blue, and, in a different size, another in green. Green comes across as an earth-friendly color, so I use this pack on hiking trails. No one seems to pay any attention to it.

BTW, the ripcord on some pistol packs is another giveaway, IMHO. My Bianchi "Ranger" fanny pack has a ripcord, while the "Top Secret" does not. However, access to the pistol compartment of the "Top Secret" is relatively slow.
