Absolutely not the case here. The road I was riding on is very wide, 5 lanes, and there was plenty of pavement surrounding me. I don't agree with your premise regardless. I ride in traffic in daylight conditions all the time, and neon yellow jerseys show up better than any other color, IMHO. Studies bear this out, and it's the reason why most highway crews wear neon yellow vests, shirts or jackets. Do a search for "color visibility," and you will find all sorts of studies that show that neon yellow is the most visible color.
