[Paddlewise] Kayak colors for visibility

I recently talked to a Coastie about this topic.  He said that there are
differences in the visibility of certain colors, but as a general rule -
FORGET IT.  The real impact is the color of your PFD or your paddle blades.
The kayak has too low a profile, but the PFD is higher on the water, and the
paddle blades provide movement to key off of.  Makes sense to me - I always
see fellow kayakers by their paddle movement long before I spot their kayak.
