I'm with you there, Sam!
I see bright yellow in flight the best, so I think that will be my go to hunting arrows from now on. I've tried white, white/yellow, orange, orange/yellow, yellow/black, pink, etc. Pink is easy to find on the ground, but I can't see it in flight for doodly squat. Bright yellow feathers with fluorescent orange nocks are the easiest for me to see in flight. I also use reflective tape for cresting, so if I do lose track of one, I can usually go back at night and find it. I don't think I've lost one since I started doing that, so I worry more about seeing the arrow in flight than on the ground.
BTW: my preferred color is orange...the color yellow feathers are after a pass-through the lungs of a whitetail!
