Was a tough call. I think white is the most visible, but pink is a close second and I've not had deer react to pink like white.

I voted for white.......but only if there is no snow. When there is snow I go for pink or chartreuse.

I'm with Ron on this one. I voted Chartreuse because I wanted it to be a fair race.

I voted pink. White and chartreuse have got to be right up there.

I picked chartreuse. I don't really care much for it,as a matter of personal preference, so it immediately ,stands out for me. Like it or not, it sure works.

Hot pink and white. Plus nobody will take my pink arrows at 3d shoots they'll turn them in if they find them.

I pick up blue better than other colors, especially when hunting an errant arrow.
I'm not a fan of white fletching as a result of an interaction with a coon hound in Alabama's Cahaba State Forest in the winter of 1975.

For me it's not one color. I like white in low light and flo. yellow in bright areas.

For me, the yellows are out because they blend in too well with many fall leaves. I prefer either flo pink or white.

I have chartreuse and flo chartreuse. Flo chartreuse is so neon bright in low light conditions, I can hear it.

I voted chartreuse because it sure stands out in the fall woods but all of my arrows have white.

Seems Chartreuse is now in the lead, I change my answer to blue.

I choose pink, just because it is a little more versatile to me. I can see it better in the bright sunshine. Not to bad at last light. I have learned when I can not see pink it is to dark to shoot.

I normally have one or two white feathers for visibility. That being said. I voted for blue lol. If I could have done a write in, I would have went with baby blue. I think that would be best year round in all weather.

I don't have normal color vision. Seeing an arrow in flight is critical to me for hunting and yellow along with a flo green or flo orange nock is as good as it gets for me. For some reason, white just doesn't do it for me in flight, even though it would seem it should.
