Default Am I going color blind? Is this orange or red?

There have been enough little things lately that I'm wondering if my color peception is right. Does this look orange or red?

Thanks,
Dale

Oh my gosh! You think that is orange or red? I'm so sorry to tell you, but that is a blue as true blue can be!

Orange? Red?

You better see the doc!

What a terrific color! Have you thought of using that in the grand room next to the buffet? It would so wonderfully accent the valance on the window!

Okay, just kidding everyone. For the record, it looks orange. Off the record, does it catch fish? Who cares!

Looks like Wind River Orange to me!

Actually, it looks like an original Storm wiggler, model V48, which is listed as "solid flourescent red"

I'd say it has tones more reminiscent of pumpkin than apple.

Flo orange to me.

I'm glad I don't bird hunt with you guys. That's blaze orange/fluorescent paint. Should not darken to black with depth like red will. Only other color this visible is fluorescent chartreuse.

If you take an orange and Flo Red wart or wiggler and put them side by side, the color difference is quite noticably different. The pic you posted is Flo. Red. I'm with fishin mission on this.

A buddy gave me some prawns he cured. He says they're red, look more purple to me.

One thing for sure, I won't take a pic and ask here

I'll just think of them as purple and keep it to myself.

Oh...by the way...when I caught a springer at Drano I was using an orange OR red wiggler.

How about Red
But it doesn't look like it works very well there isn't a scratch on that thing. Maybe you should send it my way and I can test it for you over in my neighborhood and if it works I'll send it back to ya :grin: :grin: :grin:

That color is neither orange nor red, both of which turn essentially black at 20' as someone else pointed out earlier.

That color most certainly does not turn black at 20' since it is fluorescent. It will hold its color much deeper than non-fluorescent finishes.

It is fluorescent FLAME.

The chart calls it red. I call it racing orange. There will be a closure on that color starting Saturday from Bonneville to Bouy 10 as the return has been smaller than expected.

Ah-haa, I've seen folks post 'Reba' before and always wondered what color they were talking about.

So 'Reba' is flamie orredange with sparkles? Kind of like the Michael Jackson but in flamie orredange?

I think I read a post by FNF that mentioned 'Reba' for the Wind.
