Any ideas what color to dye this so that it doesn't blend into the everything? :|
It's faded yellow with red flames, old school Z plastic. It's pretty clear too, which helps its camouflage abilities. :wall:

You can't make it lighter. The only think you can do is dye it a uniform color as splotches tend to blend in.
I'm not helping anymore.Herp, derp.
I know I can't make it lighter. It's light enough already, I just don't want to make it darker. Definitely feel you on the uniform tip. Think a light dip in some red Rit would do or should I hunt down some orange?

Glitter pen the bejeezus out of it. Any sun at all will turn it into a blinding beacon.
I've been giving this subject a lot of thought lately, being fairly new to the sport and subject to some wild throws once in a while (and this is also my first post in the forums, btw, so don't hurt me! )... my conclusion is similar to the quote above, in that what really seems to help me the most is an arrangement similar to a mouse pointer, where the object carries it's own inherent contrast rather than relying on a bright color to be visible. This may be because I've noticed that for myself, my "search" vision isn't particularly color-centric, other than in direct sunlight. I also can't seem to achieve greater "brightness" by dying, no matter what. So... my approach has been to try to create bold, contrasting, "un-natural" patterns with black dye on light colored discs, such that no matter what the background, something will stand out. I also try to do this on both sides, by at least dying the rim OR non-rim part of the underside, which is pretty easy to do, and creates that "mouse pointer" effect, which should show you a circle on a light or dark background. Here's a few pics to illustrate. Anyway, since I came across this thread just as I was immersing myself in this problem, I figured I would share my two cents...Also doing a contrasting rim can help make a disc more visible as there are very few perfect circles in nature. Your idea of orange would probably work too but be careful it doesnt go too dark, it can be tricky.
