RE: fletching color
I use all the same color feathers. I prefer flo pink, but I have some flo green and flo orange on flo yellow. I try to stay away from red and blue because I hunt turkey and don't want a gun hunter shooting at my red or blue feathers. I'll use a grey reflective wrap that looks a little white though.

I use all white...I dont think it makes a difference to the deer
And white makes it very easy to identify blood on your fletchings

RE: fletching color
I like a White wrap and white vanes. Because it's the easiest color to see blood. I could give a rats behind about being pretty.
You can tell the difference between lung blood, muscle blood, and liver blood with a white wrap and white vanes. That could be the difference between pushing an animal and making a recovery. To me that is by far the most important factor in considering wrap / vane color. How well does it show blood? Black, red, blue, are terrible. White is the best for determining bloodcolor IMO.
Even though I now use FOBs, I still use a solid white wrap just to help identify what kind of blood I've got.

RE: fletching color
personally, i just use something i can find in low light. as far as telling blood...it would be nice to know if i hit muscle/liver/lung but you can usually tell lung&heart anyhow.
