It is not known for sure if sharks favor a color. However, it is believed they may be attracted to the colors yellow and orange. They are also attracted to shiny jewelry which can resemble fish scales.

Cone opsins are used to help animals see in bright light, and to differentiate between colours.

What color are sharks attracted to?

Science has not been able to determine whether or not sharks can see colors. The 'Brightness' of certain colors has also not been scientifically determined to be a shark attractant, but some scientists have called international orange (the color of life vests) "yum yum orange' for sharks. Sharks have been prove to be attracted to shiny, flashy objects that give the appearance of light glinting off fish scales. Great whites feed on seals. Surfers in wet suits can resemble seals, but if sharks can see colors, we all know there are no red seals. So, unless you have a neon traction pad, you are probably in no jeopardy. If you wear a watch brushed metal or flat black are better choices than polished metal - gold or silver colored.
