What color is the waistband ribbing?

Is this product suitable for activewear?
While durable, its primary design is for standard waistbands. For highly technical activewear, specialized elastic may be considered, but this offers good general stretch and durability.
Troubleshooting
Ribbing loses elasticity after washing.
Ensure the washing temperature does not exceed 30°C. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners which can affect polyester fibers.
Ribbing is too tight or too loose when sewn in.
Adjust the length cut to your specific needs and ensure even tension when sewing. For looser fit, consider using a slightly longer piece; for tighter, a slightly shorter piece or tighter stitch.
Sewing machine struggles to feed the ribbing.
Use a suitable needle for your fabric and the ribbing. Ensure the presser foot pressure is adjusted correctly and consider using a walking foot if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the Prym Waistband Ribbing, cut the required length from the piece provided. Fold your fabric to create a casing or directly attach the ribbing to the fabric edge using a sewing machine or by hand. Ensure it is sewn in with adequate tension to provide a snug fit without being overly tight.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with most standard sewing machines and can be used with a wide range of fabrics suitable for apparel, including cottons, blends, and linen. It is ideal for woven fabrics that require an elasticated waistband.
Care: To maintain the integrity and elasticity of the ribbing, wash it at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the polyester fibers. Tumble drying is not recommended; air dry to preserve its stretch.
