I've found yellow to be easiest to see in a variety of conditions. It's important to consider visibility when choosing your PFD and hat as well. My husband races kayaks, and when he's wearing a yellow hat it's a lot easier to pick him out of an approching goup of paddlers. A bright orange hat is visible as well. The problem with red is that it dissapears into shadows and when light levels diminish. Same with blue and green. I've also added reflectors to my helmet, paddle, and we both use PFDs with reflectors.
