Hi Visibility color schemes

[Wayne Galligan]

Hi Visibility color schemesChris,

Everyone's ability to see certain images or color combinations is different.  Watch at a contest and see whose airplane is most visible.  This is easier since your not concentrating so hard on the flying.  As others stated a good contrasting colors of light and dark.
  The three levels of light(early morn or direct, late evening and overcast) the colors seem to change for me.  I found using the NYX Sport glass that I got from Peidmont really help.  There are three different lens for varying light conditions and they really helped me especially in overcast where everything seems to gray scale on me.  
I used a paint program that you could plug in different colors then turn it to gray scale to see if or how much the colors blended into each other.  A real help for me.

  Hi, 
  I'm finishing a Temptation and have some scheme layouts made up, but am re-thinking the issue.  Is there anyone out there who has any knowledge in their data banks which would indicate what colors and or scheme breakout patterns which are more readily visible to the human eye against any given background color? (blue or gray sky)

  I think one of the biggest problems I have as a 30 year sport pilot converting to pattern is the ability to fly the airplane far enough out to remain in the box, yet still be able to see the airplane well enough to determine wings level or bank angle. (Goes against everything in me to fly 150 yards out!!!) 

  Any help you can provide is appreciated.... 
  thanks,
