On the color wheel, isn't purple opposite yellow? That means that they look really nice together (complementary colors, as in a flower garden), so you might expand your wardrobe to include nice bright yellow jerseys, so you'll be seen. Maybe you could find some yellow/purple combo jerseys too?!
You can see from my avatar that I am the high-viz queen. :D
