Pink should stand out pretty well What are you trying to achieve? What kind of design?

Pink probably wouldn't work well lol.
It's going to be for a horseshoe dart league with the bars name on it.
Thanks

White, yellow, or maybe a bright neon green.

White & cream are the obvious two. You might be able to do something with outline colours - have a chunky white outline around black or tan text for example (I haven't printed on camo, so you'd need to test that (perhaps just on screen in a graphics program) as I'm not sure just how legible it would be).

It probably wouldn't suit the target audience, but you could consider flock (the texture might help visibility). Gold foil would look great, but again wouldn't suit the audience.

I'd probably focus on white and off-white colours - simple, readable, inoffensive.

Thanks for the advice.
It looks like I will probably be getting the work and going with white.

You can work well with a design outlined in white on Deser camouflage and on Woodland green or try something dark red as it works well and doesn't bother the eye. On the Urban camouflage I can see a design outlined in blue or yellow.

Bright orange works well
