I tried so many colors over the years and now use orange fletch with orange wrap.  White seems to blend in with curled up oak leaves in the fall.

White seems to get lost on bright sunny days.  Plus it looks like a whitetail's tail, and I don't want any part of that.  

Chartreuse is best all around I have found.

Chartreuse really is bright, but bright orange with orange nock works best for me.  Plus on WMA it adds to the orange I have to wear.

I voted chartreuse always stands out and really pops with a white crown

I voted for and prefer white, but I dont mind one bit strapping on flo green, or even pink.

I voted pink ... with white, flo yellow and chartreuse there are occasions with the right light that they blend into the natural surroundings, pink does not do that ...
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good

None of them are the same color after passing through the lungs...so my answer is based on 'in flight' and pass through or the off shoulder stob visibility....not looking for a missed arrow in the woods.  I think way  more positive than that.  Anyone worried about a miss is statistically going to miss more.

I wonder how many threads we've had on this subject over the years...and how many more will come along after this one.  It's kind of like one of the 'broken record' threads on most sites.  Same horse just a different rider.
