I've been looking at pics and videos of various sabers and im trying to figure out which ones are the most visible in bright light. I'm wanting to get a dual saber with either sunriders destiny or consular green on one side, and guardian or arctic blue on the other. I might get violet amethyst or fire orange instead of the blue if those are more visible than the others. Basically I like these colors equally but hate the look of sabers when you can see the blade through the light or when it washes out towards the tip so I'd like to avoid that as much as possible. Thanks to anyone who helps!

Daylight will wash out all these colors, period.  If you want a blade that’s colored in daylight, do what HesaHeart advised, and get a day blade.  There are several (many) members here who have done this already, and from what I have seen, they have nothing but good things to say about the ones from The Custom Saber Shop (which is the only other saber-related site we are allowed to mention by name here on the forum), aka TCSS.

I'll throw in another vote for day blades. They are very aptly named and come in a variety of colors.

Every breath I take is an affront to their lofty ideals and idle Force worship… and so they seek to exterminate me.” He looked deep into Barriss Offee’s eyes, “they were not successful in purging me from the galaxy, and neither will you be.”

Absolutely agree with day blades. Any 1" OD blade is compatible with US hilts.
And the brightest by far will be the Photon green. It specifically reacts to blue spectrum light to make a green brighter than even Tri-green.
And in daylight, the UV light will make it look like it's glowing even when off.

To actually answer the question, Blues will show up the best, followed by Greens. Reds and Oranges show up the least.

That said, yes, day blades will be even more visible, and work in all colors.
