Never paid much attention to color with regards to what sharks see. Even though my primary is orange, of the 6 kayaks I use for fishing, 2 of them are red.

The theory that red attracts sharks is BS (according to the laws of physics).

Red wavelength cannot penetrate water for more than 15 feet. At a depth or distance of 15 feet or more underwater, anything red simply appears black or gray in color.

A red kayak looks the same as a black or gray kayak to the sharks.
