Red Dot or Green Dot

[Vintage]

Green for me

[Ihuntoldschool]

Early season, Green.

Red for late season/heavy foilage.

I have on with both red and green.  I will switch between them depending on the light, background, etc...   I tend to use the red more often.

I've used both but prefer green.

I have a "red-green" color deficiency which affects my color vision, but mainly red. According to the eye doc, this is a relatively common eye issue, especially for males. Therefore I go with green dots. To me, green stands out more, is brighter and doesn't blend in with background colors like red does.

Green seems like it might wash out easier in the spring woods? 
Also green seems tougher on battery life.

I can see where you would think that, but it doesn't.
I use Trijicon Dual Illumination RMR dot scopes, therefore I don't have to worry about batteries. They are lit up with tritium and fiber optics, hence dual illumination.

I've got several some red, some green, and some you can change from one to the other. I will say when it comes to what you can see better, it's strictly depends on the person. Some see colors different. As for me I like the green but I have friends that borrow guns from time to time and some like the red.

Green for me, I see it easier and better than my red dots.

[Dtrkyman]

Most aren't using an RMR and identical dot using green vs. red have drastically lower battery life.

One I was just looking at went from 30k max to 7k max hours just from the green dot!

Shoot what you see better!

Holosun 507C green works best for me.

I preferred green when I had one on my shotgun for deer hunting years ago, the scope did both but like others have said green is better if you have an astigmatism and I have one that is quite severe I guess. Not over thinking it at all.

Have both and prefer green. Have the Holosun 510c-GR--love the circle/dot/ reticle arrangement. The same circle/dot/reticle arrangement comes in red as well.

I don't think there's a huge difference as both are far better than a bead, double bead or Tru Glo, Hi-Viz sights, but again having used both, will never go back to red.

If I were a few years younger, this would not even be an issue.
