I've recently been playing quite a bit. I've got a dark purple disc that is my primary driver. If I'm on the fair way with short green grass I can find it easy, but if it is in the rough or a wooded area it's difficult to see. What is the best disc color for all terrain types?

PINK! but you gotta be secure with yourself. lol

Without a doubt white is easiest to find in nearly any terrain except snow or sand.

It is no coincidence players on the PGA tour use white golf balls. White reflects light better than any other color and provides the deepest contrast from green (grass, foliage) or brown (dirt, dead foliage, sticks,stumps,dog doo etc.)

Black, brown,tan,green and yellow are among the worst colors for most terrain and conditions.

if you are counting on others to help find your disc, stay away from red as a good chunk of men are red/green color blind :)

Nice.........I'm throwing a Max weight Pink Champion Orc. :eek:
Color is not an Issue. :D

Being slightly colorblind (reds/oranges/yellows) I prefer blue. I've lost many discs, including white, but never a blue one

I like doing disc golf photography, and the colors that show up best on the pictures are pink, orange, and red. Everything else tends to blend in either with the sky or the terrain.

I'm red green color blind so those two colors are out for me. Blue discs are easy for me to find, or yellow (unless is fall and there are lots of yellow leaves). Also, different color discs supposedly have different levels of stability, so may want to take that into consideration. I think the brighter colors are usually more stable and the darker colors are less stable - not sure if this is true with all discs.

I've found the opposite to be true, or atleast with Discraft.

There used to be a significant stability difference in cyclones. The white and or cream color were the most flippy yet the blue and black ones were very stable even overstable when new.

Hmmmmmmmm.............Interesting.........I have heard the same thing.

I'm a Glow man , myself. I like to collect everything made in Glow.

Some plastic is so bright , I put on a pair of sunglasses !!!!! :cool:

WORST I remember the nearly transpapent candy plastic discs around 2001. If it was green you could not see it even if it was on the open lawn right in front of you.

BEST The fluorescent yellow/green (mostly yellow) color of my X-Press, you can see it almost in twilight long after the white ones fade out. I have a T Bird the same color. Can't lose it except in the fall maybe when the leaves are yellow.

The easiest colors for me to find are Blue and Pink. I have a Neon Green one that is very easily seen also though which is odd.

I'm also color blind, specifically I'm protoanomalous (red-weak). Yes, I can see traffic lights; no, the grass is not blue or purple. See this website for a demonstration of my view of the world:
http://colorlab.wickline.org/colorblind/colorlab/ (pick protoanomaly)

The interesting thing about being red-green colorblind is that blue stands out better than just about any other color, including white. Dark red is the worst, followed by orange (esp in foilage or brush).

Kenja, that's the same thing I have. The odd thing is, sometimes I'm perfectly fine, and other times, it's horrible.

here's another website i found which gives a quick example of color blind perspectives: click here (http://www.vischeck.com/examples/) .

Pink drivers fly farther. :)

I find that shiny, bright, solid colored, opaque discs are the easiest to find. Most neon colors are easy to see. I tend to choose a lot of different colors because it's easier for me to recognize the discs in my bag and remember what exactly I'm carrying that way.

I have a slightly blue tinted, mostly transpartent E Sabre that turns almost invisible when it hits the grass. I think I've actually stepped on it while looking for it before. I also used to have a Proline Gremlin that was a dull orange color that blended in perfectly with fallen leaves.

There is a secret to increasing the stability of your discs. Rub some Paxil on them. Works every time.

If I didn't live in Vermont, I would only buy white discs. They are really easy to find. We spend 5 months out of the year playing ice bowl conditions, and I hate having to readjust my discs twice a year.

Blue and Yellow are my preference.

LOL very true!

A guy in the group we were competing against in a doubles tournament Saturday, made fun of my Hot Pink Beast when I pulled it out of my bag. Of course he stopped snickering about it when I threw it almost 100ft farther then he did.

It is also great when you accidently shank a shot in the woods with a pink disc. (person helping you says) "What are we looking for? (you reply) "HOT PINK BEAST!"

The silence that follows is one of lifes simple pleasures.

I generally throw bright colored discs.

I will only buy drivers that are pink or white. I still use a yellow CE Valk but only on more open holes.

I have a friend that is color blind and i could never really understand how she saw things until i went to that site... thanks!!!

As for disc colors, tye-dye discs can be very hard to look for b/c they act camofloged (i dont know how to spell that) in some terrain. I haven't tried any pink discs, but i think that yellow or bright yellow is a must if you play around dusk. i have a glow disc but those can still be hard to find late at night. I think bright yellow or white has the same effect.

My Favorite color discs are light blue opaque. They are the easyest to find in the woods i play in, they stand out against the brown and green ground. so whenever i can i buy discs in baby blue, The Hardest disc for me to find is my yellow champion leopard. its got slight streaks of orange running though it, and its a darker yellow too, so in the fields of burnt grass its impossible to find even when your standing on it (its actually happned).

Those highlighter yellow discs are pretty hard to miss. I can see those the easiest.

They are a bit tougher to see if the sun is glaring IMO.
