I use yellow and can find my arrows pretty easy. But if you really want them to show up easily I would go with Flo. pink or Flo. blue.

White and Chartreuse is good. Pink, White, and Chartreuse would be too bright to look at.

Personally ...I pick up AMG Lime better than any color I've ever used.  Pink is great, but right at last light I lose them too -- nothing shines like those LIME or FLO Yellow at last light.  I can't see blue well at all.  But for overall looks and visibility I like bright orange the best.

I squirrel hunt quite a bit and me and my friends have settled on orange.  I think pink is as good.  Chartreuse no doubt is better in low light but hard to see on bright days. Ready to fletch.

I like Easton Blues shafts with chartruse and orange fletching. The blue shaft is like nothing you see in nature and really jumps out at you when searching in woods duff or grass.

I use these for my spring bear hunts. Best color under low light conditions. J Cook is right too...AMG Flo Lime and Chartruese are bright and easy to follow in flight and on the ground. Flo Chart dip, Chart/White feathers.

Chartreuse is best I have tried for all around all conditions.  White is good when there is no snow.   I also like Flo orange fletching.  Not as good as chartreuse in low light flight, but I think it is as good or better for finding when deep in cover.
