Josh, A white hulled boat will blend in with white-capping waves making you far less visible. I am guessing that you would be doing a lot of paddling in the Mediterranean so this would be an issue. I do most of my paddling in the Atlantic Ocean and have an orange kayak. My PFD is orange also. Visibility is a concern for both boaters avoiding you and for help to find you if needed. If you are on calm inland waterways this may not be much of an issue but for open ocean paddling I would give it more thought. Paddle on.......
