Choose long and thin rather than short and fat and go for either fluorescent yellow or fluorescent orange for maximum visibility, although one commercial diving survey reported that the easiest colour to pick out at sea was bright pink!
Those commercial divers will see ya either way. I stand corrected.
I believe there is a type of color blindness where people cannot differentiate pink and blue.
I don't have actual statistics to back this up, but I have heard that studies show red, orange and yellow to be the best colors for an SMB based on ability to see them at sea.
