I have a pink hi lite from ambutech! As far as im aware nobody has treated it any different from a solid white except asking me where i got it.

One word of advice though, it didnt come with any reflective bits so i bought some reflective tape online and added it myself

I believe so. I ordered mine almost the same, all white with a pink bottom shaft but I chose to keep my handle black. I decided to keep the cane mostly white so it would be clear what’s it’s for and hopefully protect me.

I was recently on a trip in Vancouver, WA and was with my family at a restaurant. I have an Ambutech cane that has a blue lower section, NFB tip, and handle. My brother took me to the restroom and got into a conversation with a woman near the door who was curious about the blue color. She was wondering if it meant if I was "extra" blind or had some other additional disability when in fact I have it blue since it was the closest color I could get for my favorite sports team, the San Jose Sharks.

So while the colors are fun and while you will be protected under the white cane laws since the majority of the cane is still white, be prepared to totally confuse people when out and about.

You should be okay, but I would say the problem with changing the color might throw some people off. People might think the pink meant something different and not stop when you are crossing a street.

I go through a cane about every six months so I’ve never been much of a fan of getting the full custom treatment. I think the fact that it’s mostly white will keep you in good standings in most states. I’m also a fan of non-folding cans but that’s always a persons individual preference

My whole cane is purple and I've never had a problem. Well the grip and tip is blue. It's still reflective. When I was hit by a car after I got (third time), the police didn't say anything about it either.

Slightly off topic, can I cover my cane in cool stickers? I'm in New York.
