Didn't vote, for me yellow is the best. I can see blood on yellow better than any other color.
Thanks,

Pink works best for me throughout the year, although during the fall here in VT we see just about every possible color on the ground.

Chartreuse.

I think pink,florescent Orange,florescent green and white stand out boldly as well.

I splice a couple inches if chartreuse to the back of red or orange high back shield cuts.

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.
Am I the only one who's curious to know the story behind that comment?

For the record...I voted for white. Yellow or chartreuse is a close second.

if I need to find and arrow...then its blue
Nothing stands out on the forest floor like blue
Drive down the road and look at litter in the ditches, blue is always more prominent

I picked Flo Yellow. They all work.  And I usually have a combo of bright colors on my arrows.  My favs being flo yellow, flo orange, and barred combos.

I like yellow, non fluorescent.
I see it really well.
That being said, Im looking over at my quivers and 80% of my fletching is white.
Guess I have to fix that, feeling kinda dumb...

The most visible by far are the arrows on TOP of the ground fodder  :)

I see yellow the best in flight. Chartreuse is right there too. More importantly for me is to see where that arrow is in the deer
with a white,wrap I can find yellow easier than chartreuse. Seems around here the leaves on the ground are chartreuse making it hard to see. Blue and pink are the easiest to find on the ground. But I don't see those as well from a distance.

White, except in winter. Chartreuse (or flo yellow) when there's snow.

For a stumping arrow and finding it after a shot - Pink

For the archer seeing it in flight- Chartreuse with white a close second.

I like pink with a couple of small 1/4" - 3/8" reflective tape bands.  One fore and one aft of the fletching.

I like white but not during gun season. Yellow or chartreuse then.

I voted for Pink.  I shot Hot Pinks with White for many years. Now I am preferring Chartreuse for my fletches but I still think the Hot Pink catches the eye faster in the woods.

Pink hands-down! In any season rain or snow, the only disadvantage would be low light conditions where white is obviously the best. I personally think white can be hard to see in good lighting though and I have definitely had deer react to it more than other colors also I hunt public ground and I don't want anything white close to me!
I've shot yellow for years because I like the way it looks and I happen to think it's lucky;)

Chartreuse used to be my "go-to" color then my eyes started going bad and pink started to show up better for me. Pink is it now.

Seems to vary from person to person and what shows up best to their own eyes.
