Boat Color

Eggactly
Robins egg blue is the most visible color … It only happens one place in nature and that is … you guessed it… on the Egg… Yellow would be your next best choice…

Someone should make a
Vertical striped yellow/robin egg blue kayak to settle this once and for all.

Just My Opinion

I think contrast makes you more visible than color. A dark deck and a light hull or vice versa should make you visible regardless of the weather conditions. Same with clothing.





"Hey Kudzu, is that a bald eagle up in that tree?"



"NO! DON'T LOOK UP THERE! LOOK AT ME, THE DECK OF YOUR KAYAK!! I'M ORANGE!!! VERY BRIGHT ORANGE!!! LOOK AT MEEEEE!!!!!!! YOU FEEL ME BURNING INTO YOUR RODS AND CONES??!!!

Oh no, does Sky Blue = Robin Egg Blue?
I thought my sky blue (maybe the same as robin egg blue?) QCC 700 was nearly invisable to jet skis! Now Phil really recommended sky blue for the south, but I am wondering if he had another reason, making sure people saw me. I do go into a lot of boat channels ect. and jet skis and boats always seem to avoid me, though sometimes they do angle towards me to get a better look and then cut away. The sky blue is easy on my eyes, that’s why I got it in the end (Marlin Blue was a close second).

Thanks Phil!
