My stoopid thoughts. What color shows up best for YOU in the sky? For me bright yellow, white, and black may as well all be the same. However a True Red vs silver makes a great contrast. Or Neon yellow vs carbon fiber shows well. Blue and silver work for me too. It really depends on what you want/can to see.
Keep in mind my
slow planes do 120.
For me Blue and white works very well with blue as the majority of the color and geometricly apealing shapes differing from bottom to top, especially a metal flake blue like metalic blue monokote and ultracote pearl blue. I also like mixing a small amount of cub yellow or orange in.
Large amounts of red are diffcult for me especially when put against white even with silver separating the plane just disappears on me. Large amounts of yellow is hard for me too.
Black is ok for me in small amounts but black can disappear too.
