I haven't read all the posts but can offer my 2cents worth regarding the issue of being seen. Where I paddle, it is generally very sunny and out in the ocean (Sunshine & Gold coast) or our bay (Moreton bay). In these conditions, white is very difficult to see. Mainly due to Glare and whitecaps. Dark colours are not really an issue heat wise because craft is predominately surfskis, so open cockpit and lots of splash. A bit of reflective stuff on a pFD or boat is a very effective way to be seen in these conditions
