It all depends on what you want to do with it. Closed course with no other source of light at a slow speed? The cyan would probably be okay. Throw another light source in there or make the course rugged and you'll find the limit of shorter wavelength light and the human eye pretty fast.
If you want to use your lights in an urban setting for commuting, cyan or UV will be impossible to see against any kind of light background. UV isn't called 'black light' for nothin'
Stick with white...the more intense the better.
