The helmet's screaming yellow, my bike's screaming yellowthe vest and now I'm thinking about these:

Yes, not a scientific study but I sense and sometimes see drivers take that second glance.

I can't remember where I read it, but high visibility chartreuse is supposed to be the most visible color. I see more and more highway workers wearing that color. High viz yellow is right up there, as is blaze orange.
I used to ride motorcycles and I had a blaze orange helmet. There was a substantial difference in how cars kept their distance from me when I wore that helmet. I've wondered why bike helmets don't come in high visibility colors.

I bought this windbreaker http://bontrager.com/model/07260 at a LBS, and am blinded by its brightness and feel much safer with the cars zipping by. Also, as a somewhat unexpected bonus, it turns out to be an excellent wind jacket.
I have several screamin' yellow Brooks Nightlife tops and jackets---very high-viz! For summer, I have sleeveless and short-sleeved neon yellow jerseys by Terry.
This is the short-sleeved version: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodTY_630024_0.html.
I saw a jersey somewhere recently that combined high-viz yellow with a neon pink. Great combo! Wish I could remember where I spotted it.
