Survey says

for experimental/test flight stuff

 

They were originally used to allow ground spotters to better spot the aircraft from the ground for optical tracking during flight test. Another use of painting wingtips, tailplanes and tailfins bright colors was to allow observers a better means to determine the aircraftโ€™s orientation and attitude in flight.

 

Finally if it all went so wrong so fast, hi viz colors made it easier for SAR crews to locate the wreckageโ€ฆ.and the remains of the pilotโ€ฆ..quickly.
