Default Deer and Colors

Moved my ladder stand this weekend and decided to use a new ratchet strap going halfway down the ladder for extra stability. The only one I had or could find at the hardware store was yellow. No black ones in sight. Will this matter orstick out to deer? I seem to remember an article talking about how the only color that really sticks out like a sore thumb to deer is blue and that deer are the equivelant of red-green color blind, so colors like yellow, red, green are paler to them than we see. Plus the leaves are turning in our area and there are lots of yellow in the trees and on the ground. I'd paint it but think the smell of fresh paint might just make things worse.
