I think it is much more important to have bright paddles.
My fishing partner has sky/sea camo colored paddles. They are almost unnoticeable.
White or other light colored paddles seem to flash in the sun.
This is a good thing.
I have had power boats seem to ignore me on purpose.
Bright paddles flashing in the sun every time you take a stroke goes a long way to get you noticed
My kayak is red, my PFD is yellow, My paddles are white.
If I'm in trouble, I want to be seen!!
