Do Sharks have a favorite color?

YouTube - Do Sharks Have a Color Preference?

I'm painting everything black....

EDIT:
In deference to Splitlip here is the MythBusters video

Shark Week Mini Myths: Do Sharks Have Color Preferences?

Edit 2:

Ok, maybe an all blue wetsuit would be better. And some spray paint for the backplate.

Yum-Yum....

Liked the Vid. Not quite the same results as Myth Busters.

My OW instructor Frank (The Shark Killer) Hammett, told us always wear black here on the East Coast. NEVER yellow.

Umm. Do any colours switch to yellow at certain depth ?? :-) i.e. Green? I hope not, good chunks of my BC are lime green :-)

[moosicman]

yeah, I've got red and black Mares superchannel fins....DANNNNGGG

[Splitlip]

I think about that too.
My daughter (who is all about fashion), selected lime green fins. They look kind of yellow under the water.

But, I have to say, saw some divers diving last week with with yellow SP Twin Jet Max fins. The color looked like it was lit up at 80ft. Unreal.

Yeah that is why sharks like seals they are yellow. Hmmm chicken

[Splitlip]

LOL.
Frank said West Coast or seal habitat, wear contrasting colors.
(But not yellow )

spray paint fixes all of this just don't get a yellow tank

No, they don't have a favorite color. It's a fun story to tell, and "yum-yum yellow" has a nice ring to it, but it's complete BS.

Wear whatever color you want. Divers don't move like food, unless you're paddling on the surface... and then color isn't the issue, it's the silhouette.
