The Japanese have learned to enhance the look of beni on their koi by painting their ponds in medium green. The reason that this works is that green in opposite to red on the color wheel. The ONLY way to see the koi true color is to look at it in a white or a black tub (this is why my photographs are taken in a black tub).
This is very different than flooding the pond in green color from the sun/daylight, which gives everything a green overtone, like through green tinted sunglasses.
The only neutral colors are white and black. White reflects light and black does not. That is why shade (neutral colored) cloth is balck.
Bottom line is: green shade cloth will make shiro look greenish and beni purplish. Not the same as beni in true daylight AGAINST a green background.
Clear enough?
