I read somewhere that white is best for daylight visibility and yellow for dusk/dark, but I still think the yellow/green is best overall.
Most in the UK, as far as I have noticed, prefer various shades of dull. I've rarely seen bright colo(u)rs on cyclists of any ilk.
You must be the exception, Stap.
