It is important to choose hiking, backpacking, and camping gear and clothing that are natural earth tone colors like green, brown, tan, or black. There are many fashionable earthy shades to choose from.
It has been reported that tests have shown the colors of light green, khaki, and tan to be the some of best biting insect repellents as far as clothing choices. It has also been reported that most biting flies are attracted to dark colors like blue and especially black. White is an obscene color choice and I don't know what studies have to say about yellow but yellow is an obscene color as well. Red is an an obscene color too and mostly likely falls into the dark color category.
Bright colors like yellow, red, white, purple and blue do not blend in with the environment, can often be seen from miles away and contribute to a crowded feeling. Remember that your presence can negatively affect the enjoyment of others who seek solitude. Out of sight out of mind. Remember: cover as much of your skin as possible.

Anything dark. Don't wear white for sure or you'll be carried away! Try using a bit of bug repellent too, but it's gotta have Deet in the ingredients to work well. If you get good stuff you shouldn't need to use much so then you won't smell like bug spray then either.
Good Luck

Think Crocodile Hunter and safari clothing-those guys and gals must pick colors that are well suited to traveling out in the bush looking for animals. Khaki, beige, and olive green have no particular attraction for bugs. Who wants to be in the middle of wrestling an animal when pesky bugs distract you with biting?

Any colour that is dark and doesn't occur often in nature. Colours like white, green, red and yellow make them confused as they think you are a flower, expecially if you wear naturally fragranced perfume or in your case aftershave with it.
