What is the color of the 10K cargo net?

• A. Olive Drab
• B. Tan
• C. Black
• D. Gray

Answer: (C)

Color coding of sling load gear helps inspectors quickly verify you’re using the correct equipment for the load. The 10K cargo net is colored black to differentiate it from lighter-duty nets and to hide dirt and wear, making it easier to inspect for damage in rugged environments. The dark color also aligns with standard practice for higher-capacity nets, so it’s the right choice in this context. The other colors are more typical of lighter-duty or general-purpose nets and don’t indicate the higher rating here. Always verify tags and load ratings on the net in addition to color.
