I actually found a paper that said yellow was better than all others as part of someone's PhD thesis(I think it was PhD). I'll try to find it, their test was fairly interesting. I think they used bubbles to scatter light while trying to look through a fish tank. Yellow light at the same intensity had people complete their task with higher accuracy than blue or white.

I'll edit this post if I can find it again. It's probably not the same as snow, obviously, but it was an interesting read.


That maybe because yellow light is most similar to sunlight.

That's why fire engines are sometimes that bright yellow. It's the easiest for the eye to see. Most are red just due to tradition.

The problem with snow is it's obviously it's ice and it reflects all of the color spectrum, roygbiv

So with Amber light reflecting it enhances the visibility of the snow itself. When in reality you don't want to see the snow you want to see everything else through it.

With a blue tint, blue + yellow = green. You don't project blue light, but you block the yellow color and transform it to green. Thus limiting the Amber / yellow color space

There was something about eye sensitivity too.

I really hope I can find it again, as it was interesting. Though, it is only a single paper and not necessarily absolute truth on the matter.

Find any highschool physics book and light transmission will be in there.

Human eye is always more sensitive to yellow tones. That's why caution signs are yellow. They stand out more,

Actually green has been proven to be most noticeable by the eye also flashing lights are also more noticeable than solid light just a little fun fact. I am also curious how everyone without a bed cage is packing their bed. With my bed cover their is not much room in there with the tire and recovery gear ect. stupid retrax bed cover.
