am Unsure of the tail colour, most trolls in myths have like greyish stone skin or sun brown, the fake fur is for the fluffy tip, but the others are for the mane tail colour, what colour do you like or suggust?
Kind want a thick fabrick that can take some punishments since the tail will be riped of.

Hmm, it depends on how much of a contrast you want. The grey as a stronger one but I can absolutely see both!
If you can't decide, maybe put it together with the colors you are going to have in your outfit? (Also, if you want to paint your skin fitting, check which colours you can get for that makeup and use that as a decision help)

don't want to paint my skin and the fabric is water proff so don't think I can dye it
pastel fox
Grey

You can probably paint the fabric, even if it's waterproof- then you could create a more skin-like texture and gradient, and bring the two colors closer together.... I agree with @fallow pike consider how you want the tail to match the rest of your skin tone/bodysuit/makeup
foggy gull
am going for just the tail, no bodysuit or makeup. I can't do makeup
am now sturggling to figure out how to make it so it can rip of easy due someone wanting to rip it of, was thinking magnets
ornate void
Yeah, magnets would work pretty well, there are some good purse magnet snaps that fit a little snugger than just an average pair of magnets and you can get pretty strong ones

i have looked at some on amazon that a friend sugusted and they have a good strength to them, am tempted since the tail is a part of my character body, so it wouldn't be easy to just rip off
foggy gull
might go for a lion tail or cows tail just a bit more dirty and sgruggly
foggy gull
I might make the tail tuft more like my own hair colour

Thats a good idea, and I'd say go with whichever fabric color is more similar to your skin tone, and paint it with some more flesh-tone colors in either soft splotches or stripes, that way it still looks like part of your char's body and you don't have to do body paint.
foggy gull
am not doing body paint, my skill is not there at all. That is why am going with this one it is super close to my own skin tone

Oh I meant paint the fabric- but you definitely don't have to, or you could always add that later
