Tip
Tip: A dark and bright colour combination can be reliable in clear water, and a colour that is both bright and dark can hold its colour in dark or low-visibility water
How to do it: Use dark and bright colour combinations in clear water, and bright-dark colours that hold in dark or low-visibility water
Mistake it fixes: Using colours that disappear in the water conditions
Why it works: Colour visibility changes with water clarity. Dark-bright combinations remain visible across conditions.
When it matters most: Fly selection, colour
