I'm with you on the colors, but I actually find running DRL to be a PITA, and not worth whatever teeny tiny marginal change in probabilities I think it might provide. I don't question other people's choices on this, I just don't care for the over-hype of the "do it or die" nonsense.
I'll run lights in the fog or if I'm going out after dark, but I just don't buy that if people are too distracted to see my big yellow torso, that a little light in the daytime is going to likely change that.
