I would be extremely shocked if it wasn’t the traditional highlighter yellow. ---

I think It’s white. Because most people when started with yoyo ( or just play) is use it. And for players it’s serious is the highlight yellow. (Sorry sorry for english) ---

For the general public, white. For players who are serious enough to even just know about this fourm…highlighter yellow hands down. ---

I mostly have neon yellow just because it was the most readily available … the standard. But I prefer orange for raw colors (titaniums in particular) and white for everything else. I find the neon yellow clashes with a lot. ---

I clearly remember over 20 years ago, Duncan would pack yo-yos with a ‘black’ string. Not only was it hard to see(for some) but it was the Worst quality string that I remember. It wanted to coil, no matter what you did. It was about as rough as packaging cord. Decades later, I still don’t have any idea why they thought a junk string was going to be ‘good’? To answer the question… I think over 50 percent of throwers use neon yellow or neon green or white. All the other colors and combos make up what’s left. Personally I have kinda faded out on having a favorite color. If the performance of a certain string impresses me, I don’t care what color it is. But my go to color is usually neon yellow, simply because of its’ better visibility against most backgrounds. ---

I try to keep my strings organized by Color. White = Cotton for Fixed Woods Yellow = Standard Green = Medium Orange = Fat That way when I find the thickness I like for a specific yoyo/responce, I just switch color for color. Each color may have several types of materials/coarseness. I then select other colors for the Boutique Strings I like to play with. Again each one has a repetitive color to know what I have on what throw. Just my method to my madness. ---

Neon yellow. I will use neon green if I have to. White if I wanna switch it up. Every other color lacks vibrancy, I find, and it makes it more difficult to see where the string is during complex movements. ---

I’ve tried a variety, but agree, the brighter colors make finding placement easier against normal backgrounds. Yellow is pretty universal. That said , Nightmoves orange is great, P44 green is pretty bright, and Alphaline orange/pink looks good, too. I just recently picked up a batch of baby blue Sochi, though, that while far more muted, it’s also pretty easy to see. It also looks fantastic on my gray Top Deck and clear Emotion. ![IMG_9077](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/1/5/415fbbba0d03429c8dc0e4b9b7272f7e64ab532d.jpeg) ---

I m pretty sure fluoroscent yellow is the most popular string color ever. White is second and pink and yellow (I typed yellow for some reason I meant orange) r prolly quite near for the third place. ---

Night moves went from cart to ordered. Those blues look good w the yo-yos and I’m stoked to see the orange.
