Water droplets (rain, snow, fog) reflect and refract light. Different frequencies of visible light are refracted differently (see the rainbow  ). A colored fog light reduces light from frequencies other than that frequency giving a lower range of refraction. Reflection is a function of angle of incidence and won't change (much) regardless of color. This is the theory behind why colored lights help. The research behind why colored lights don't provide much difference is based on the same principles. What they don't go into much is that visibility is a matter of individual perception. The same conditions will be seen differently by different people. I find white light just fine, but I know people who swear by different colored lights. My feeling is go out with some different colored filters in poor visibility and see what works for you. |
