Since the Craig Coussins tree I had won from the demo had tan Vet-Rap (or competing product), I asked him is he had used another product.
Here is his reply:

The colour I used was dark green if I remember but the green may well fade out after a period. The tape is only for a temporary period and I find dark green the best all round colour as brown is not made. You are right as the human variety is very expensive . That is how I found pout about the vet wrap though. I was at a club in Atlanta and they ran out of raffia so I went to a pharmacy to buy this stretch tape which came in pink and proceeded to wrap a large pine with this pink tape. 'Sooo pretty'! I was relating this story shortly afterwards in Colorado to a friend who has a horse and keeps Bonsai and they said that the same stuff was used for horses and was much cheaper.

I guess both the tape (and my memory) faded.
I should also note that, for economy, you should buy the wider roll. You can cut it, on the roll, with a knife, and any ragged edges meld in to the tape they contact in use.
