I've never tried yellow so I'm not voting here. Orange is closer to the red end of the spectrum so it has different effects on the foveal part of the retina -- retinal spectral coding -- orange contrasts more with most ambient colors so I prefer it. I mainly use tritium sights on pistols and scopes on rifles.Last edited by Monty Ealerman; 06-11-2014, 07:06 AM.

I have tried both, and when it came time to purchase my own, went orange. I believe it sticks out more on more background colors. I can't really describe the difference very well, it just seems to have more contrast, if that makes any sense.
They are, hands down, the best sights for a duty pistol I've come across. They are a great blend of speed and accuracy, whereas some sights drift too far toward one at the expense of the other.I miss you, Dave.

Update:
I've been training to shoot with both eyes open. It is approximately a bajillion times easier with the orange Trijicon HD sights vs the stock sights on a Glock. The contrast of the orange is almost as good as a red dot.I miss you, Dave.

Have you noticed this at all?I miss you, Dave.
