Hardest color disc to find

[DiscChainBasket18]

Around here? Green in summer, yellow or orange in the fall & white when it has snowed!
Black: hides well in the shade at all times of the year! LOL

I would imagine a clear disc would be hard to find, i've never seen anyone throwing them tho. Anybody throw clear drivers on a regular basis?

Yellow champion plastic and tye-dyes in general.

Anything dark if the sun is in the wrong place.

 

[smarkquart]

Red, especially out of there corners of my eyes. It is essentially black and blends in with shadows at that point.

 

[elmexdela]

ti was awful.

For me personally, I think green is the hardest to see. I've never really had too much trouble with the dyed discs.

Not sure if anyone's pointed this out yet, but OP is looking for hardest-to-find colors.

Clear discs, while exceedingly difficult to find, do not have a color.

:peevishsmiley:

Tyedye for sure. For me (colorblind) red is close second. Also, those horrible looking Vibram discs. Multi-colored and dark green and brown? Who thought that was a good idea? I am still shocked they are still in business.

Yeah, those Vibram discs are so dull and yucky.

Green is mentioned very few times in this thread, considering the amount of green stuff we throw into. Why? Here's the hypothesis I've heard. We evolved surrounded by foliage of various types that needed to be distinguished, such as food sources, medicinal plants, and other useful plants. And among them, poisonous plants. If people were unable to distinguish slightly differing shades of green really well, they'd be less likely to survive to reproductive maturity, applying an evolutionary pressure. Today, the results of that evolution means it's surprisingly easy to find green discs (although really dark green seems to be an exception). Also, it is hypothesized that the ability to throw circular plastic objects long distances will eventually disappear through this same evolutionary pressure, because disc golf tends to repel females.

Find in the shop or in the brush?

yea their later runs are awesome..my first couple were very earth toned. SO i was glad when i ran my last birdie bash and most of the colors really popped

 

[dysmike]

At least solid black retains it's shape.. For me tie dye, and many dyed, discs are harder to see since the dyes break up the shape. Hippy camouflage indeed.

 

[mashnut]

Leaf-colored Gateway discs.

Lol! That is the single worst disc I've ever had to look for, especially in the fall.

 

[Stedingk]

Have a transparent green Havoc that extras as a Viet Cong. Have to trip on it to find it sometimes.

 

[tstack10]

Had a friend who would negative dye his discs and they beefed up being mostly black. They were the hardest discs to find in the shadows and trees. Some tie dyes are also really hard to find depending on the colors.

I have a Opto Trident that's dark brown and pearly, easy to find in the field but in the woods I have to watch it closely. Thankfully I'm very consistent with it so I can usually keep it in the fairway. Other than that I second the Gateway organic green plastic.

 

[Johnny Conservative]

For me its green discs or orange discs. I like using pink, yellow or blue discs.

 

[turbine712]

I have a brown Lat. 64 River that I make sure I don't throw it in the woods.

I'd say green, but I don't buy green discs for this very reason. Or black. I have a blood red star plastic SL, and I used to do field work by my apartment in a grassy meadow in the early evening. I knew it was getting dark when I couldn't find that disc. No trouble spotting pink, white, yellow, and orange from 150 feet away, but that red would just vanish.
