Funny you mention it -- I hate the neon day-glo colors of so much hiking and active outerwear as well.

For God's sake, try to blend in a little, you know? Earth tones, people. (Except in safety situations like hunting, obviously.)

The point of the colors is precisely to be highly visible. If you become incapacitated the last thing you want is to blend in with the surroundings. You might also notice that there's very few skiing outfits that are mostly white, or swimming suits that are mostly blue. To only reason someone would want to be more difficult to see is if they're trying to sneak up on someone.
