To be fair, solid dark blue isn't any better in the visibility department. I've done enough man overboard drills to know that spotting a person in the water just by eye isnt terribly dependant on clothes color anyway - it all disappears at a few hundred feet at best. Even bright yellow foul weather gear doesn't help, and reflectors only matter if they're somehow out of the water. People working on deck should be wearing float coats or inflatable harnesses with a MOBI and strobe light.
