Nice deal here, but think hard before picking green golf balls.
Edit: I guess my friends and I are not normal. So get the green balls since the internet claims they are easier to find. I was apparently wrong. Turns out bright green is the easiest to see everywhere but the courses my apparently green colorblind friends and I play. I'd still play white balls over green, but I don't want to steer anyone wrong.

In our real-world play tests the bright red and bright orange have been the easiest to see. High viz yellow is good unless the grass is turning yellow which is an issue at the course we go to most often. High viz green does not stand out on this lighter grass in our experience.
But by all means, if you think green balls on green grass is easier for you to see than something with a lot more contrast, by all means play what you like. We only can see them easily when the grass is a deep, dark green.
Been playing for a decade, everyone I golf with laughs how they can always see my bright orange balls. Literally have had this discussion a zillion times because most of the guys we play with initially seem opposed to orange balls. They give me so much crap about them, but after a few rounds they start noticing how easy my shot is to see compared to theirs.
Try it yourself and form your own opinion, don't take my word for it.
I am curious to see the tests you're talking about. Can you link me to one so I can check out their methodology?

What I typically do is play white or yellow in the spring and summer as they are easy to see on a solid green background. I do however start playing orange in the fall as they tend to be easier to see against fallen leaves (my hunter orange theory), and you can find better deals on quality orange balls later in the season.

There are literally hundreds of videos going over how Yellow > Orange > White for visibility... they wouldn't sell so many Yellow balls if they didn't serve some general purpose other than aesthetic.. otherwise other colors would be popular too.

I know in theory you are correct... but opposite of green is red, and I find those blaze red balls to be awful to find. I do agree in practice orange is probably the easiest to see during any season, but I can find them sometimes distracting and harder to find value with quality orange balls.
