Etiquette, schmetiquette.

Visibility is improved wearing yellow. It's the closest color to the
one that was selected for fire trucks and emergency equipment -- that
sort of lime-greeney-yellow color. If someone makes a jersey in that
firetruck color, I'll give up the yellow.

Until then I could give a rabid rat's rump about who rags me. Nobody
is ever going to mistake me for a TdF winner wannabe, anyway.

My favorite jersey (I wore it out) was bright yellow and had a great
big "Less Than" ( < ) sign on its back, like the roadside signs that
tell drivers they'd better get over or be in the ditch on rural roads.

Performance offers their house brand (Classic?) short sleeve jersey in "Hi
Viz", which is just the color you describe.... :-)
