    What kinda conditions is red used for? green? blue? etc etc

    Red contrasts against natural landscapes very well since it's across the palette from green. It also is a bright and aggressive mental color. It tends to work better in a bright environment.

    Green is the second brightest color to the eye (yellow is the first), it works well in a cluttered environment like an urban one. You'll also find green a good contrasting color against tan and brown, and it is easier to pick-up in low light situations.

    From my knowledge illuminated reticles or scopes are not allowed for hunting in Texas just FYI

    "Artificial light of any form that casts or reflects a beam of light onto or otherwise illuminates a game animal or bird may not be used as an aid to hunt, except battery-powered scoping devices that project a light or dot only inside the scope; pin sight lights on archery equipment; or laser sighting devices used by legally blind hunters, or hunters who have a documented permanent physical disability that prevents them from using traditional firearm sighting devices."

    Basically you can't spotlight game animals, but you can use illuminated reticles and red-dots.
