    I like nice chains.  I really like nice cassettes.  I try and change my chains before they need to be changed to try and extend the life of my cassette.

    The 8 speed is a fairly solid thing, more speeds mean quicker wear and more expensive chains and cassettes.  Think yourself a bit lucky.

    Cleaning helps, I have been abiding by the KMC advice against using a brush and solvent scrubber, and wipe very well before lubrication.  I do seem to get a little less of the grinding when twisting the chains, who knows, I still use my Park scrubber on my SRAM chain.

    I think the orange/black could be good, the right orange to work with that green could be difficult, but you WILL be seen.
