I'm wanting to get a set of Trijicon hd night sights for my M&P Shield. I have a set of the yellow on my full size M&P. Just wondering if one color shows up better than the other.
Any other brands I should consider?

Are you asking about the tritium vials or the photoluminescent "square" face of the front sight ?

The front sight. Is one color easier to pick-up in low light conditions?

I think it's a personal preference based on your particular ability to see contrasting colors.

I prefer the chartreuse/yellow. I have a couple of friends who prefer the red/orange. Based on the post above this one, it sounds like my eyes are in the minority.

Maybe not, I have yellow on one of mine.

I have the yellow HDs on my M&P 9 compact and love them. Can even connect with them consistently at 50 yards. But I've never tried the orange so can't comment on that.

Orange here also
I went with Orange because to me at least, that color catches my eye easier than the yellow.

I was a big Yellow/Green guy. I had Green TruGlo TFO's on my XD. But my new XDs has fiber optics, and a green rear/red front combo. I like the contrast after shooting it. I'm going to replace them with TFO's or something similar at some point.
