blaze orange

Safety vest shade

Blaze orange is a vivid, highly visible orange color used primarily for safety gear—especially hunting clothing and vests.

The intense hue stands out against natural backgrounds like foliage and earth tones, helping hunters identify each other and reducing accidental shootings: Hunters are required to wear blaze orange during rifle season.

Also called hunter orange or safety orange.
