Not all sunrises and sunsets occur with no cloud and everything conveniently illuminated for you to distinguish colour. This is New Zealand. I refer you to my previous point regarding low light conditions.

if you cant see blue from black in low light conditions do you really think you should even consider pulling the trigger, surely you would not be clearly identifing your target.

EXACTLY MY POINT. BLUE IS A CONTRASTING COLOUR TO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. IF YOU CANT SEE IT THEN IT'S TO DARK AND YOU SHOULD NOT BE PULLING THE TRIGGER. IS THERE REALLY ANY OTHER POINT TO BE MADE HERE.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU JUST WANT TO WIND PEOPLE UP OR YOUR SAYING YOUR PREPARED TO SHOOT WHEN IT'S TO DARK TO IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET. WHICH IS IT
