[quote GP]Maxima makes a brown tippet. There are companies that make spin lines in yellow and other colors. I have caught Bonitas in Mexico with 50# test mono and 35 # steel tippets. I normally use 4x and 6x p-line or Seaguar. Renae Harrop told me that Upper Harriman was named Bing Lemke after a famous fisherman who caught a lot of big fish. He would have to cut his tippet at an angle to get a size 20 fly on the tippet was so big. My neighbor on Henrys Fork of the Snake buys 250 yard rolls 8# test mono at Walmart and doesn't use a leader ,straight 9ft. mono and catches as many fish as anyone. When the salmon fly hatch is on I think you could put on Amnesia and catch fish.[/quote]
I understand Brown tippet even olive/green. Also Umpqua has Bi-Colored Indicator Tippet in bright orange and yellow, but that is for nymphing (Czech Nymphing more specific).

I have seen even orange. All of these on stillwater are kind of Moot. Not sure how many use the bright color line all the time, but it is there.
I too use P-Line regular Fluoro for all my fishing except when I get down to 6X. But as you posted, P-Line offers a X leader and Seaguar offers X tippet. There is a difference in diameter still. The stuff on the smaller TIPPET spools is a thinner diameter.
This will only become an issue when fishing dries.
I have used 6X on #32 with a loop. No problem, but to use 2lb regular Fluoro it is bulky and stiff. To use 6X tippet it is light and flexible. Again, Dries.
Nymphs and streamers are anything goes.[cool]
I would be interested on the Amnesia, but are the Salmon stalked?
Here is one more for you. I make furled leaders. I have made one in Bright Orange. I attached 2 feet of tippet and proceeded to fish. I caught fish, so I cut a foot off. still caught fish. Cut off 6" and no more fish.
Ranae is good people and knows his CDC doesn't he.
