Which color do you think suitable for client whose activity mainly outdoor?
They are semi formal company, the use of the likes red or yellow seems not suitable, dark colors are good heat absorber while white can't resist stain.

It also depends on what it is for. Is this for a logo? Or for their outdoor marquees? It makes a difference.
Also, who are their own clients? Are they hippies and jugglers or outdoor adventure people like extreme sports fanatics?
fluro colours? innovative but very hard to repro. for web and print though.

They had the logo already. They asked my help to create different color theme for each different season for their annual program. The logo consists of blue, green, and mustard yellow.
The color theme will be used in all stuffs, banner, merchandise etc identifying the relevant event. Last year I picked mainly blue for the color theme. They complained that blue makes them feel hot as it's a plant related utterly outdoor activity.
As you advised, I gave them alternatives that are not too dark but also cannot dirty easily, like: Earth, sand or desert color, burundy, and Martian green (green like appears when posting here).
