Always wear black bibs or shorts for obviously sweaty reasons. Grew up in the age of bright multi-colored jerseys (think LeMond). Dark colors always seemed semi-suicidal, especially during the dark winter months and while riding in the shadows. I too wear a white helmet and have front and rear flashing lights, I do have some bright single colored jerseys but just can’t go day-glow except for a yellow-green vest I wear in the winter.

Read a research article on colors and cycling and it basically stated color made zero difference in visibility and accidents. What did make a difference was having a bright color on a visible moving part of your body, like legs or cycling shoes. Moving colors draw a drivers attention.
