I don't believe your brake track should be relied on as a safety beacon.

In the winter where I live, road signs often get partially or fully covered with pure white snow. In the glare of headlights, compared to any reflective surface anywhere in your field of vision, the snow looks dark grey or black. The idea that 'brighter' colours make you more visible is mostly a myth IMHO. If an item isn't actually reflective, I assume it is invisible in the dark.
