Article in Passagemaker boating magazine cited the coast guard who rescued
some sailers in the water who were wearing flotation suits of safety
yellow.. The chopper crew agreed that if the suits had been orange or red,
they would have missed them... They could not see the international orange
raft that was drifting nearby, but the yellow suits showed against the haze
like beacons..

best color might be different when viewed against the sky or the ground.

If you have ever been in the pattern with a Piper J-3, you must know
that the best color is Cub Yellow.
