I like white, Chuck Adams doesn't. He prefers red.
I guess I'm trying to be as much like Chuck as I can, I have all red as well. That's about as close to being like Chuck as it'll probably get for me!
You don't want to be like Chuck! Be yourself!

I've always had at least 1 white, easier for me to see what shade the blood is.

cresting or wraps also help for you to see the arrow and they look cool too

my set up is two high back banana cut in white and a yellow bar for a cock. i also use a white feather tracer on then. you can see them on the way and when they hit those tracers just explode in color.

I have played with feather colors and finally found my solution this year. With the speed of bows these days I've never really seen a huge difference with color and visibility during arrow flight. This year I began using the luma (lighted nocks) and life in the woods changed for me. It not only made my hunting more fun but it made things much easier! Not to mention my hunting videos are unreal with the lighted nocks! I had absolutely zero issues when I switched to luma nocks. Arrow flight and everything is the same. They look the same. I do not understand why I do not hear about more people using them. Probably cost but I only buy a 3 pack. Good Luck!

White wraps and white feathers, shows up the best for me.

I will add, once it snows and you have a white background, they seem to disappear. [:@]
