An orange vest isn’t the best way to stay visible in traffic anymore. This extremely bright green coat is. The Nano Meter 555 Midlayer jacket, made by the outdoor sports retailer Vollebak, is designed to be the most visible color ever, as Co.Design reports.
The green color was created by analyzing the way the rods and cones in our eyes are stimulated by different wavelengths of light. The company found that the human eye is most sensitive to light at a wavelength of 555 nanometers—a bright green. It stands out against any road you’re biking down or any mountain you’re climbing, allowing you to remain visible even from high in the air.
