What Colours Do Sharks Like?
 

Hi, want ng to buy one of those surf t-shirt thingies,but I've read somewhere that they tend to go for certain colours, so go for opposite, only thing is, I can't remember which colours it is that they like - is it dark colours they like or the more bright colours?

Any help from all you knowlegeable persons? :confused:

most sharks see in greys, some - like the reef and bull shark - have colour vision that attracts them to bright yellows and oranges. Smart divers tend to avoid these 'yum yum' hues. ( taken from a article on the internet)

Right, will go for the darker less, tempting shades then. ;)

Don't think sharks (predatory species) are that fashion-concious that they really care what you are wearing if they are hungry or you just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sharks hunt more on scent and vibrations in the water than on direct sight, although some species have good eyesight. As they attack they are actually close their eyes and virtually hope that the target hasn't made a sudden move away.

Sharks, love any colour, they do not discriminate, however during certain times of the month or year they react violently against purple and emerald!!!!!! Sorry I'm being a wee bit sacastic.

Look without sounding out of order here there are many other things to worry about. Sure you may hear about shark attacks, or even as we did witness it. But life goes on, and I think you need to worry more about the boring mundane things rather than sharks. Its like spiders, people over worry about these things. Sorry to sound blunt, I can understand why people ask these questions, but sometimes I think we all need a reality check. More chance of dying in a road accident!

Fact.

Yes, In OZ 3 people are killed by sharks a year compared to 1,600 people on the roads. Your 3 times more likely to be killed by being struck by lightning then killed by a shark. Unless you are going surfing at one of those remote beaches in rural S.A or W.A which are known great white shark areas or going scuba diving way out in the ocean l would'nt worry about.

Catharine Hamnet 2004 winter collection really riles them up.
As do Paul Smith trousers!

Avoid accessories by Stella McCartney, and Versace jumpers, & you'll be right!

Can't speak for the worldwide shark community, but West Australian sharks are known for their hatred of anything bought from K-Mart, Target, and Sportsgirl!!

Some, 'radical thinking' sharks don't confirm to all of the above, but they are usually shunned by the more, 'conformist' sharks.

I'm afraid the only way to be really safe is to stay at home with all the doors locked, and don't even think about dipping your toe in the ocean!!

You have been warned....!!! :D

I forgot to add Targets piping hot boardies or come to think of it anything piping hot.....

there's no accounting for taste, well if you're a shark anyway...
