This would be illegal in my state. Amber and red visible from the rear and white, yellow, and amber visible from the front. Regardless, blue isn't a good color because it's reserved for emergency vehicles. Should have gone with green.

My state, too (Indiana, for reference)

I'd go with Purple/Violet. Not a color light you really see anywhere on roadways so it would stick out easier.

Purple is for rain.

Red-green colourblindness is the most common type, perhaps it's best to use a more distinct colour.
