I thought NATO-like Robbin Egg Blue was supposed to be pretty visible at sea, apparently. I think wooden kayaks are the safest finish, after all, boaters avoid hitting logs and a good strip-built kayak looks like a floating log! Personally, I like high visibility yellow, though my kayaks are all currently signal yellow, decks and hull. Black paddles are all the rage but they should be color-impacted somehow as that is what is usually seen first from a distance. And according to Eric Soares, cameo color is cool and you can hide while commando camping – not that I’ve ever done that. :-)
