I'm glad this question has been asked, thanks Julian: I have been thinking of sticking some patches of reflective stuff on the truck, if only to cover a few blemishes in the finish. 
For me, these would be low down to "boost" the existing lights- probably to be located on the bumpers which have the blemishes anyway.
I've done nothing about it so far and my thoughts were much as stated here; red showing to the back and white to the front - all those yellow/red chevrons might make it look a bit too much like a HGV.
As for blue, it is supposed to be illegal to show any blue (lights that is) on a vehicle in the UK but try telling that to the masses of foreign owned trucks passing through Dover into the UK, and onward.
