Why does Batman make Robin wear bright colors?

In Season 1 Episode 6, "Jason Todd", of the live-action Titans (2018) series, the new Robin (Jason Todd) rescues Dick at Dr. Adamson's apartment. In the conversation between them that followed, Dick says:

Dick: He lets you drive the Batmobile? Wouldn't you rather have your own name? Like "Sparrow" or "Blue Jay," for "Jason"?

Jason: Fuck, no. The whole point is being Robin. Batman needs Robin.

Dick: Why do you think he makes us wear those lame colors? 'Cause we're drawing fire. "Look over here, assholes!" Then boom, the Bat lands and starts trashing ass.

Was this comment by Dick, taken/inspired from the comics where Dick (or any other Robin) said something similar?

Looking for the story arc where this happened.

Is that so? Because I can't remember if it's something to specific to contrast with how Batman wears dark colors and roams the night while Robin, sometimes right next to him or not, wears much more vibrant colors like red and yellow and green.

Why does Robin wear such bright colors for his costume? In real life, would these colors be able to blend into the dark? from DCcomics
