Chromatic Emergency Markers

These Colored Smoke Grenades are Designed for Rugged Survival Games

— November 13, 2015 — Lifestyle
Whether you're playing paintball and want to add a chromatic fog to hide your whereabouts or you're simply looking to have a little fun, these Colored Smoke Grenades are designed to do just the trick.

Coming in color options like purple, green and orange, the Colored Smoke Grenades are designed to expel colored smoke for 90-seconds before ceasing. The Colored Smoke Grenades work easily by having users simply pulling the tab and holding or throwing the enclosure to instantly bathe the surrounding area in deep, dark color.

While the usage of the Colored Smoke Grenades is really up to you, they're best utilized when it comes to a game of paintball or airsoft, where masking the surrounding area adds an additional obstacle for players to overcome.
Trend Themes
1. Colored Smoke Grenades - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new uses for colored smoke grenades beyond entertainment, such as in emergency situations for signaling or marking areas.
2. Chromatic Fog - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a non-toxic and environmentally friendly version of chromatic fog that can be used in various industries like film production, stage performances, and special effects.
3. Masking Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invent new technologies or materials that can effectively mask or camouflage objects and surroundings for purposes beyond entertainment, such as military applications or wildlife conservation.
Industry Implications
