I have some orange t-shirts that I love, but if I'm going out on a trip to the country to look for wildlife there is no way I'd wear them - I choose muted natural greens and khaki instead (although I don't actually wear camo gear). Also, when I photographing anywhere where I might be partially visible in a window reflection I wear clothes that don't have stripes, because these stand out like a sore thumb.
- cafard 4y agoDoes most of that wildlife have color perception that would pick out orange? My recollection is that hunters in Colorado would wear blaze-orange vests to reduce the chance of being shot by other hunters; I presumed that this did not make them conspicuous to deer or elk.
