Which sights to use?

New here and also new to hand guns.
I have both, a S&W M&P 40 and a Shield in 9mm.
I have trouble seeing the little white dots on the factory sights.
Right after my CHL class, I had the range install some Truglo night sights. I got the ones that have a pretty large orange front sight (with the iridium in the center)
In the store it looked awesome. After I got home I pulled it out to show my son and in the light in the room there, I had a hard time seeing the orange but there was too much light to see the iridium.
So, my question is, does the white one show up any better in low light than the orange? I plan on getting some for the 40 but I don't want to make another expensive mistake.
Your thoughts? (I know it's a matter of preference, but I still want to see what others think)
Edit,
They are Ameriglo # SW-456
They have trijicon printed on them.
The orange is just paint. The rear is just plain black with the green inserts.
