if i can remember correctly cervidae (deer, moose, elk) see with a colorblindness that operates with more of a reddish tinge to everything but i personally believe the more you look like your surroundings the better off you'll be... assuming you can beat their noses!
edit: to answer your question, I wear camo for every kind of hunting i do, usually put it on when i arrive at my destination and never wear it around as casual clothing. it unbelievable to me people smoke in their hunting gear.
for safety reasons, blaze orange is to make hunters as visible as possible to other hunters in the field, perhaps break-up orange might be good compromise: look like a striped tiger in the field

My grandfather said you beat animal's noses by being downwind.
