Curious fletching color question

[McDave]

That makes a lot of sense, James.  If the background screen color had more than the usual amount of blue, then with my limited perception of other colors, I'm sure my eyes would pick up on it, and it would influence other colors I saw more than it would influence colors other people would see.  That probably has more to do with why the pink appeared blue to me than any hint of blue that was actually in the shade of pink of the feathers.

Two different combinations I've been known to use over the past twenty or so years.

Pink and blue or all fluorescent yellow mainly because I see those colors well in flight.

My good friend the late Roger Rothhaar used red and yellow in combination most of the time, once in awhile he used orange instead of red.

Keep in mind that he also spray painted the rest of shaft a light gray for visibility in low light conditions. I do that two if using aluminum or carbon. When using wood I prefer to paint the whole shaft white or yellow.

As always movement, or lack thereof is the key imho.

This cracks me up how this thread has gotten so far off from the OP.
