Does Boat Colour Mater

[swampdonky75]

I'm fixing up an old boat and was going to paint it to hide the fiber glass job i did and got to thinking if it matters what colour to use .Do fish care if I use white or should I use a dark green or blue?

The major things on a boat that affect fish behavior are light reflection(meaning make it a flat or matte colour not a gloss) and even more important: movement, which will cast a moving shadow into the water below. Any movement from above will mean "predator" to a fish.
