Runways are actually fairly ease to spot in good weather, you have to consider that things look very different from the air.
Search and Rescue planes for example can spot a fire from a long distance away because they can see the smoke where-as you can’t really see that from the ground. It’s a question of perspective.
In bad weather runways have reflective surfaces and a lot of lights so they are still very easy to spot
There’s no need for the runway itself to be a bright color
