I just saw a video of a commercial Quadrocopter and it had 2 Black rotors and 2 in neon orange. The two neon orange ones marked the front of the quadrocopter.
I think that could help a lot to recognize the orientation in air.

Perhaps a good idea for the next Gen?

We actually tried getting the rotors in different colours but it turned out to be too expensive. For the future it might be possible but for now I guess you could paint them (making them balanced might be hard though).

I think the LEDs on the crazyflie help much more to orientate than colored rotors, the rotors spin very fast, i don't think that it would be possible to see much of them.

If the LEDs are hard to see in daylight some neoncolored tape would do it, but i wouldn't tape it on the rotors, better on the front site of the board. By flying RC helicopters i learned that little balance differences on rotors can cause really bad vibrations, bad for the motors and for the fun.
