I need your string color opinions/suggestions!

So - I'm practicing with an 80's dance/pop cover band. 80s = bright colors. Currently I have DR Black Beauties on my bass because I have black hardware. This has to change! A photo of my bass is attached. Now, what DR strings should I get?

Neon Orange? (is it too monochromatic?)
Neon Yellow
Neon Green (maybe - too halloween-esque?)
Neon Pink (I'm sorta leaning towards no...)
Extra-Life Blue

Normally for 80's I'd say pink, but not with that bass. So neon orange then.

are these the only options they have for colors or are these just the ones your torn over

Green, yellow or pink are good 80's choices. But don't those colors only show under blacklight?

@Bassbat - In the Extra-Life series, they still make Red Devils - but they aren't bright enough IMO. That's also all the colors they make in Neon. I wish they still made peacock blue - but I don't see it on the DR website/catalog. So, it's almost all the color selections, but yeah, the one's i'm "torn over".

@Baron Von Vik - the neons show brightly in regular light, but also glow that color under black-light. Whatever the lighting is for the show - they would be bright colored in appearance.
