I use the green, it shows up better when I am wearing polarized glasses. This could be just me.

Blue. It's easier for me to see when the sun is up.

I used to keep it on grey or inverse but I've switched to blue this year. I like it a lot better. It's a little more difficult to see in direct sunlight but it shows stuff better.

I chose the colors that I can see the best according to the ambient light, OR the subject matter.

Early morning/after sunset/night = Brown
Late morning through late afternoon = Amber 1
Down Imaging = Brown
SAR and fish = Inverse
Shell beds/soft to hard bottom transition areas = Green/Red

Blue for me. I have color blindness issues and blue stands out the best for me.

Blue in lowlight conditions, and I alternate between the two diff amber colors the rest of the day. Inverse works well to mid-day also.
