Now whether you think neon paracord is good or bad depends on your tastes, I guess.

From their site:
Our cord is real genuine US military issue 7 strand Kernmantle style 550 cord in 100 foot lengths conforming to MIL-C-5040 Type III. Others may call their product "550 cord", but our competitors product has cheaper fibers inside that does not come anywhere close to the strength and quality of our product. Accept no subsitutes.

Disclaimer: I've never dealt with this company & have no affiliation with them. I just happened to find them while Googling around and thought y'all might be interested in their wares.
 
I've delt with supply captain from their ebay site. Good company, but will use their normal website next time. The shipping I believe is a little cheaper.
 
Good company and product

As for Neon colors, I'm visiting Alaska right now and everybody has only wanted me to make lanyards from neon yellow. My brother-in-law already had one saw his knife when up hunting Doll sheep, it dropped down the mountain and the only reason he found it was cause of the bright lanyard.
 
I switched from yellow to orange (from tadgear.com). The yellow is brighter, but it stands out less noticeably in some vegetation, especially grasses. YMMV in Autumn. ;)
 
Eastern Mountain Sports sells Hi-Viz yellow paracord in 100' lengths. This is what I have been using for a few years.
 
I've been using a safety orange paracord for awhile now. It really stands out and makes it hard to lose. A lanyard on my Arc AAA-P has been carried daily in my pocket for 6 months now and is still bright.
 
I've been using bright red paracord for the exact same visibility reason, and when I run out, I'll probably switch to orange. Neon is a bit too much for my gear though.
