Bright color for deck?

I'm rehabbing a Chesapeake 17 LT that currently has a somewhat dingy white deck and a teal hull. I'd like to paint the deck either white or yellow, as part of a scheme that will match either the Finnish or Swedish flag colors.

It's been pointed out to me that a white deck might be hard on my eyes on bright days. But I'm in NH, not FL, and we don't get nearly as much bright sunshine here as other places. I also prefer a bright color for visibility, which pushes me toward the yellow for low light conditions.

What say you folks who have actually had bright-colored decks?

Thanks, Tugbruce, that's a very good suggestion and certainly one I'll try! I'm working on both the boat and a 1:12 model. Principal reason for doing the model is to see what the color scheme will look like, so I can try this out first.

I live in a very sunny part of the world and have never had a glare issue with my last 3 white decked surfskis.
