Have a variety of outer clothes but to be seen- you do not need colour- but it needs to catch the attention. It is the reflective quality that works- even in Daylight. Bright Neon colours do not always work and I have known Black to stand out at times.

All my jackets have reflective cords built into them that catch car headlights at night and sunlight in the day.

But the extra attribute of the "Quality" cycling tops is that they Breath. $100 for a waterproof windproof cycling top that breaths is cheap. My Goretex cost 3 times that amount and I have had my moneys worth out of it- Only bought it 10 years ago in a sale- so just about due to go back to the factory for reproofing. Not that it needs it as it works and looks as good as the day I bought it.

And those are not lights on the blue top. Just getting ready for a night ride and that is just the failing evening light and a street lamp catching the reflective strips.
