I've read and heard that deer can distinguish blue.  I'm reluctant to believe it.  (On occasion, I have worn my buffalo plaid (blue and black) Filson jacket while hunting.  Deer took no notice.)  

Think about this.  One of the brightest colors a person can wear is BLAZE ORANGE.  I've had deer within several yards of me when I was wearing solid blaze orange.  They looked directly at me and didn't know what I was because I was stock-still and the wind favored me.

I believe that hunters, particularly bowhunters, make way too much of camo, clothing colors, etc.

Splice an inch of white behind a muted color.  You can see it spinning into the boiler room, and have a muted arrow until that second arrives,  just my opinion and my way

I've been able to see these well in the woods.
Haven't scared any deer with em...as far as I know..

Looks fine in black and white.

My next dozen I'm doing red just to change things up a bit.

My latest batch for anything other than turkeys:

       

Use a fletch cover (such as this awesome one from Safari Tuff) and fuggetaboutit.

I like yellow and orange, both bright colors. I want to be able to find my arrows. Haven't noticed any game reaction...I am careful to remain out of sight, bow with arrows included. Also I like a bright yellow nock.
