Depends a bit on the background colour, and I don't know what'd work in
a 
desert. In a forest (ie., greenish-brown background) I would've real 
troubles detecting someone in an orange or red suit unless I get very
close 
:-) Bright orange/red if the forest is sunlit, darker if the sky is
clouded.

I can see the difference (or at least *a* difference, though probably
not 
the same one as normal-seeing people) between the red-orange-brown-green

colours, but not always the border between them  - ie., I can't see the 
outline...

Also, even red-green colourblindness isn't one single state - it seems
to 
be graded in some way, since I can see some things some of my
colourblind 
friends can't and vice versa. It is very confusing :-7
