I got these 2 years ago. My largest band is purple, not orange. Has the color/strength coding changed?

my color=strength yellow=2-4 blue=4-6 green=10-12 black 15-20 red=25-30. i hope that helps answer your questions. but be advised that resistance bands may lose some elasticity of time depending on amount use. I am not sure either way about black mountaint products resistants bands just saying as an FYI

The largest band IS purple but when I ordered, the largest in my package was orange but I received the purple one (thickest band) in the mail later. The purple band is offered as a complimentary promo piece.

Better to contact Wilson directly, they are very helpful. I do know that they are made for specific band widths.

The metal parts of my headphones are bright brushed aluminum, not the gray/dark color shown here. I bought mine over a year ago, and they may have slipstreamed a change. Or, maybe it's just the photo.

Something to think about.you bought some of these over 10 yrs ago? the color that the manufacturer uses now may/maynot, have changed but the color of almost everything fades in time.In English, this means that even if the color then was the same as it is now, chances are, the old & the new might not match.

I have noticed they can change color over time. I don't know if that has any impact on their effectiveness.

The bands I received were thick blue bands, as shown here, 3.5 x 1/4. They were not tan colored as pictured here. The box was different but they were the correct size and color stated.

It is very difficult to determine weight equivalents to band resistance. If you are taller and use the band to say resist squats, or if y o u take up more slack while doing shoulder flexon, the resistance would change. I have seen a sheet that tried to equate colors to a weight equivalent but did not find I t helpful. I personally feel that people/ clients should use perceived exertion(how hard does this feel, and are you able to use full range of motion, and in good form) while using the bands. Not sure if that is helpful

Sorry, misunderstood you question. Despite the "Orange" when you click on the purple color, this is purple, NOT orange.

Leslie, I was surprised by your question and as I had just put the new strips in my drawer and hadn't looked closely at them or used them yet, I decided to check. I know that I meant to order the One Touch Ultra Blue but mine say just "Ultra Touch" and there is orange on the container. So I opened them and, sure enough, they are black. So I went ahead and tested and it worked fine--no difference that I could see. This is the first time, though, that this has happened. Always before I have received Ultra Touch Blue. I don't know if I clicked on to the wrong ones by mistake, or what.

Yes, they are. The tie dye bands seem to stretch out a little bit more than the solid colored bands, IMO, but they still work.

Let them know , I did when I had same problem and they sent me another and refunded my original. I had ordered the same green and switched to purple and the purple fit front and back. Let the vendor know.I am sure they will make good on your purchase.

Yes. The colors are translucent, not solid, not bright. The glitter is subtle. I don't find them to be weaker than any other elastic bands that I have purchased.

Mine has purple accents and the controls look different. But that could be contributed to when bought. I love mine and am on my second one!

each of the colors are a different resistance level. However, they are different color-resistance levels from other bands I've used with other exercise programs. I do find myself using only 2 colors while my wife uses 2 other colors if we work-out together. I keep one of the bands near my desk for physical-therapy exercises I need to do for my elbow and shoulders, I just shorten the band to increase resistance/tension. Plus it's a lot easier on my joint-motion than my free-weights. Compared to other bands that cost more (usually with less bands) it was a good enough value for us, especially with storage bag and door-mount device for around $30-$35. each of the colors are a different resistance level.

Yes, they have a small colored band at the base. Red, blue and green on mine.

The orange is the lightest, the red is medium and the blue is the heaviest resistance. When you actually have the bands it is very easy to tell which is the lightest to heaviest resistance because they are different thicknesses.
