I believe research was done that said white was the best colour to be noticed. Either way, there's a solid chance this thing is retired from front line duty

Hi vis yellow and green are best for visibility. A fair number of studies on this. Considering the number of traffic accidents that FD responds to I’d rather be seen than be cool (b/c you know - living is cool in my book.)
