Colors and visability underwater...

In general, what colors show up best (have greater visability) underwater? Since so much diving equipment is black, I'm looking for a "fun" color for things like my hood, but want to choose a "fun" color that will stand out (for safety reasons). :fish::goldfish: :colouredsmilies...

One other option, diving in Seattle, I had a pair of Hollis F-1s in black. The easy solution was to lay a stripe of reflective paint down the bottom of each fin which provided good identification in low viz water. Hit them with a light and they lit up nicely.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on what paints actually stick to these type of fins.

I would go crazy on them with some graphics also, but im afraid every paint would peel right of.

Any colour as long as it is black.

I use yellow Mares Avantis for my teaching fins. Many of my fellow DMs and Instructors at our LDS use similar colored Mares fins for teaching: must be a thang.
