++1 on the hi-viz yellow/orange, with added reflecting stripes and use of blinkies!
Blue is a fave color of mine, and I too get tired of the yellow/orange/electric lime colors, but I want to be seen!
When I'm the one driving and can't see other riders who are in darker colors (even on a beautiful sunny day, you can get lost in the shade and shadows you know), it reinforces my efforts to try and wear high viz clothing while riding and/or add blinkies, reflective strips if needed.
Yes, many times, we can't do anything about drivers who are reckless, distracted or both, but I want to at least try to do what I can to be visible and catch the eye of anyone driving a vehicle on a road that I'm riding on, you know?
