A few years ago I made my own steel silhouettes. I have painted them both white and black. White at this time has been the best color to see at a distance. I was wondering if anyone has found a color that stands out better then Black and White. I can shoot out to 400 meters.  I use them on private property in the local foothills that are near me. So the land is not flat. The shooting is done close the top of the mountain ridge. I get excellent light all day.  I have the sun over my back when I start in the mornings. I know that black and white are typical colors. I have used florescent orange, not with much success at all. Green will not work in the spring, blends with the green grass on the hills.  I am looking at finding other colors that may work better then Black and White. I would appreciate any and all suggestions on the use of other colors.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH COLOR DOES NOT COME FROM SHOOTING BUT MODEL AIRPLANES.THE BRIGHT FLORESCENTS SHOW UP THE BEST AGAINST A TREELINE AND BLACK AND WHITE AGAINST THE SKY. IF U HAVE A LOCAL HOBBY SHOP NEAR U U MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE FILM COVERINGS IN USE. THEY ARE HEAT SENSITIVE AND IRON ON.WOULD WORK GOOD ON A SMOOTH SURFACE. MONOKOTE IS A BRAND NAME. FIND A LOCAL MODEL  AIRPLANE GUY MORE THAN LIKELY HE WILL BE FRIENDLY AND HELPFULL.
