Im fairly certain I read somewhere that the "darker" colored camalots that are popping up are the ones from the shift back to the manufacturing in salt lake. Saw climbers with them this past weekend and again last night at REI , anyone have the info?

Haven't seen the cams yet, but saw a set of nuts. The new green is an entirely different color than the Chinese green

Since they moved back to Salt Lake, they've changed the anodizing and redone the color scheme.

What is this new colour scheme people keep mentioning?

The colours are the same, just darker and no longer washed out.
