>>1418887>>1418880After looking up some vids, and camo stuff. I think grey would be the better all around top rig braid color. The white line looks pretty visible in murky water below ~5ft. Grey would blend in with the water, and floor better. Trout see UV, and infrared. Grey has been tested to be good anti-IR night camo, and good low light camo. Pic related shows the white line can be really visible in even clear water.
https://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/docs/warrior_96_may_camo.htmCamouflage effectiveness tests performed at night at one site where observers were looking through a third generation passive night vision device revealed that the black flight suit performed well because of its high reflectance in the NIR against a painted urban background. The two color medium grey urban camouflage uniform, and the monotone grey uniform also performed well in this setting. The woodland uniform and 3 color urban camouflage uniform did not perform well at the urban night site.
(black is usually bad in IR, that flight suit has some special coating)
Grey was found to be best for sky camo in airplanes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_camouflageCamouflage for an airborne aircraft may attempt to provide concealment with colors resembling the background. For example, until 1941, Royal Air Force fighters were painted in ground colors (dark green and brown) above, and sky colors below. However, aircraft were being lost, and pilots reported that the colors used made their fighters conspicuously darker than the sky. The Air Fighting Development Unit at Duxford studied the problem, and in the summer of 1941 replaced the dark brown with a paler color, "ocean grey"; the sky blue on the underside was similarly replaced by a paler "sea grey" to reduce visibility against the bright sky. Similar adjustments were made by the Luftwaffe.
