I'd say bright colours have their use on those overcast, grey days when the light is very flat. Particularly if you're riding under tree cover or similar.
It's still too bright for lights to stand out much, and cars won't have their lights on so reflectivity is not much use.
Obviously when it starts to get dark then they're no use at all, and that's when you need lights.

sits out in the raining, counting all the money I don't have, dreaming of the day that the shadow kit goes up for sale at 50% off so that I can actually justify buying it.
all those complaining about black... just remember: Black is always the new black. if you want to be seen, use lights, I find they're easier to see in rain than bright colours or reflectives anyway.
interested to see how the shadow kit holds up to heavy use though.
Also for anyone following the rapha blog, is anyone else stoked for a helmet, made by another company with the rapha logo on for double the price?
I am actually interested to see what these other innovations they promise for the pro team range, and the updated brevet collection too
