Depends. For random radiosondes and the like, something blaze-orange that stands out when you're tracking it with a surveyor's transit. For critters...just match the basic concept of the creatures coloring and try not to go for the loudest colors out there.
(Think of me doing that stegosaurus drawing (ask Tombfyre) in chartruese and blaze-orange. That would be decidedly...painful, right?)
That been said, Green and Orange are nice. Not together, though.
