I wonder what's the reason that these neoprene suits aren't primary colors ...more like ski clothes. Maybe sharks like that even better?

One possible reason that has occurred to me having worn wetsuits in a lot of cold water is that the evaporative cooling effect when out of water is significant. If it is sunny, the black adds a lot of usually much wanted heat. But I have no idea if that's the real reason. Seems like a missed marketing opportunity if nothing else.
