Best color for finding your disc...
I'm curious if there was a concensus for which color is best for finding your disc in different conditions, like fields, leaves in the woods, and wherever else we find ourselves occasionaly. Please feel free to respond why.

Yaller!
But, here in NEFAland it really depends on the season. Try finding a yellow disc under a birch tree in the Fall!

I find white is easiest to find anytime other than winter where I will never throw a white disc (or look for yours if you throw white).
Bright (pink, yellow, or orange) are best winter and year round colors. As Phil says, sometimes leaves make yellow/orange difficult to find. Black/green/brown are almost always bad.

The neon green, while good under most conditions, will hide in fern undergrowth. It blends well with sunlight hitting new growth. I like Orange, blue, and yellows, of course white. I have some brown tie-dyes that are begging to get lost in the autumn leaves.

Bright Pink...the gayer the better. I also like bright yellow, orange and white. A lot depends on the seasons. I wouldn't throw orange or yellow a lot in the fall. For that matter throwing white in the snow is just dumb.
Of course, if I found the fairway more often, I wouldn't have to worry about this stuff.

I used to play glow golf in WI with Jon Drummond and he would show up with a black Cyclone when the rest of us were throwing glow discs.
He never lost it and he always won. It came out of his hand and he would say, 6 feet left of the pin..... and there it would be.
