If it lights up I dont think the colour will matter so much. I like to mix and match hi viz - currently I have a yellow tabard with a flashing red light strip on my back, over my normal pink tabard. Yellow leg bands and tail guard, a pink quarter sheet, and a blue light up breast plate.
The blue stood out very well riding in it last night so if you like blue go blue

Mrs Spaniel has a red one and Miss Collie a purple one - for no reason other than that's what colour their collars are! The red one shows up slightly better than purple.

Can I ask what brand / where you got the yellow with red flashing lights? I'm looking for just that for running in the mornings.

Blue for me, it would stand out against the grey perfectly.

In all honestly though, you could put a binbag on your dog and he would look fabulous! Isn't he handsome

According to what I've read, the most visible colour on coloured lights in the dark is traffic-light green, next after that comes cyan. So I suggest the Neon green, surely any colour would look good on such a beautiful dog!
ETA Sorry, the link doesn't take you the specific colour, you have to choose Neon Green on their page to see it.

If you want blue, I think their Turquoise one looks closer to cyan, and more visible than their (in comparison) darker, ordinary blue one.

However, if you've already decided that the choice is between yellow, red, or blue, then I would say yellow, because I think their yellow is more visible than their blue.

I've tried various ones, and the one that seems to show up best is green.
Dog is orange, rather than grey - not that it matters in the dark!

I’d go blue. I have neon green on my blue Merle and that glows really well, electric blue would be my other choice. Yellow and red are too similar to street lights and car lights for me, not contrasting enough to really grab the attention of a driver as being something different.

Keep them coming...if i walk out from my house we don’t have pavements...so it’s a colour that will be seen by oncoming cars ..the little schnauzer has a red flashing light on her harness,which is good for traffic coming up behind us..

I am currently using one I bought at Lidl. It flashes red and has three on positions, quick flash, slow flash and static on. It was very cheap and no batteries, it came with a little charger. It has Zoofari written on it and is made on Germany by Delta-Sport

I got this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0895CBJBM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lEYFFbJZY30PC
But its sold out currently they do have this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07WCXDYKT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IFYFFbX8FCNYZ which looks the same

I have blue Lumitubes ones from Red Dingo and they light up quite well.

P dog has a yellow one that has 3 modes of flashing, as mentioned above, got it free in local feed store promotion 3 years ago. DH managed to lever it apart to change the non replaceable battery last winter.
It still shows up well unless she burrows to the back of the hay barn on a wet winter night after work, when I'm in a hurry ??

 

[Tinkerbee]

I have blue as like BBP says its something a bit different to expected

 

[GinnyWeasley]

. I have a little red flashy thing which tends to bounce around on his harness causing a nice light display ?, I’d go with blue for yours I think it would look nice with the grey

 

[Tinkerbee]

More to the point why haven't we seen more photos of him ? those ears ??

 

[Bellasophia]

Blue it will be..thankyou for all your input...he’s got smashing coat and his ears are his crowning glory.ive added a photo to show him at four months,,born black ,the silver comes in gradually ,face and lower legs first

Fascinating to see the colour change.
