I ride alot on country roads, with alot of crazy drivers, so visibility is a big concern. From what I can tell by looking at other riders, the neon green might be best.
I remember reading an article about this but for the life of me cant remember where (perhaps one of the other girls will, Im thinking maybe the Roadbike News letter or Bicycling Mag). It talked about season change and that having some effect on what colours are more readily seen. If I remember correctly bright blue (we are talking bright not navy or dark blue) was good because not much around blended with that.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
