Thats all personal stuff my friend! One guys beauty is another guys garbage. I like barred turkey feathers myself, two yellow one grey(natural) with a yellow wrap for deer, white wrap for bears.
Sometimes I get all crazy and go with yellow and red feathers.
Pink wraps and feathers,or the yellow wraps and feathers.Click on the Trad Gang store banner up top and buy them.
I like all three the same bright colour...white, pink, chartreuse, yellow. When the bottom feather starts wearing from shelf contact, I just rotate my nock and have a fresh feather for the next few hundred shots.
I use "dayglow" arrows. Easy to see where I hit(or missed :D ) and easier to find afterwards. I currently shoot fluorescent yellow wraps with 4"x4 parabolics that are fluorescent lime. Broke a few, haven't lost one. I also keep them covered while. Moving or on the ground.
I personally would want something bright, and unless you have a lot of snow in your area, I would think white or a bright yellow would be the most visible.
I really wanted white feathers set on a white crest job however the primary game animal here is the white-tail and there are too many idiots in the woods that would just shoot at the white fletching....
Sadly I know someone who learned their lesson the hard way....
If I am hunting from the ground, which I have been doing for the past few years, I like dark colors. My colors this year were black and grey. I also used a diamond plate type reflective wrap. Personally, I have never had a problem finding an arrow on the ground depending on the color of the fletching, or have the color dictate the color of blood for me. Bright colors also make some want to peek at the arrow in flight.
I use white wraps and feathers. Maybe a blue or purple barred cock feather. In snow, I use flourescent green wraps and feathers.
I don't use wraps prefering to crown with paint (laquor) however for brightness it's hard to beat Chartruse fletch and Fl. Green nocks. As David said it truly is personal as to what you like. Have fun with it!

I mostly use flo orange wraps and three yellow feathers or a yellow wrap with flo yellow(chartruse) feathers..I like em bright..
barred green and barred purple,fleabay.special
white crest and all 3 fletch pink man they stand out like a pair of dogs nuts :D cant lose em thats for sure.
i think i might go with a completly red wrap with barred red feathers. i cant decide to have 3 or 4 feather though. any ides on which would be better 3 or 4 feather?
I shoot three all white 5" parabolic feathers.
I had the same shafts i used one grey two white
use the bright wrap and feathers you can see the arrow better in flight, youll know where the arrow is going and where it hit. i learned the hard way, double lung shoot never knew that i hit the deer. friend in tree 60 yards away, said it was a great hit.

All white on the end for me. I have trouble with colors. This is the best option for my eyes.
I prefer barred feathers in custom colors. The color I see best is blue and then I like a lighter color to help with nocking the arrow pre-dawn.
I'm not a fan of pure white ever since in January 1975 some Alabama coon dogs mistook me for a spooked white-tail deer and began stalking me. I had a hip quiver full of white-fletched arrows. Thought I was going to have to injure a dog and then remembered the movie Deliverance and thought better of shooting at a southern man's dog.
