It seems like chartreuse becomes just another shade of green when I miss a target in the woods here.

There are red, yellow, orange, and green leaves in the fall and buds and flowers that are white. If you see even a spot of pink on the ground, it is your arrow. It is hard to miss in flight as well.

Chartreuse is better to my eye.  I often lost white in flight.  That said, I use hot pink now and love them.

I've always shot white wrap, white feathers, and red nock. Now I'm thinking pink wrap, pink feathers, and white nock.

Chartreuse in low light for me. White works well also. I use both for 3d and hunting.

Did white for a few years, chartreuse for a few more and I've been a fan of pink for the last dozen or so years. Pink with a white crown dip, and when wraps came out went to a pink wrap. Pink is the easiest for me to see.

Chartreuse seems to "light up" at dusk.  I've always been concerned that deer can see them at last light.
