I don't seem to notice much difference with either but during sunny range days I love the yellow...
I'll take "colors not often found in nature" for $100, Alex. (Meaning I prefer a glaring fluorescent orange over just about any other color on a front sight.)Originally Posted by Symmetry

Yes, but 37.64% of all gun fights occur in pumpkin patches.
A Fukushima pumpkin patch....
I don't think I understand the arguement for a color not found in nature... The dude could easily be wearing a orange shirt? Other wise I don't understand the difference between the two choices?
I have the orange on my P30L and the yellow on my SK. After having painted the stock P30L front sight orange I thought I'd prefer the orange HDs. Turns out the yellow works better for my eyes.

At least from my experience you want your sight to contract with your background. Particularly in a shooting situation, you tend to focus on your target(or their gun), while your sights are in your periphery vision. The more the sight contrasts with your background, the easier it is to pick up when your focus is on the threat. At least for me, my backgrounds are mostly foliage and water ways, so I will likely give the orange ones a try. I would think that urban, vehicle, and indoor environments would be good for the green/yellows.
I honestly have no idea where you would ever see that bright of a yellow in any situation besides a t shirt or paint... Not advocating either more than the other just confused at the conclusion many have come to.
I suppose it could be a difference in what someone sees since we all have some slight difference in our color spectrums, but to me I see more green than yellow in the HDs.....particularly when the background is green/blue.
