Matching gear/bike/clothing...

[7rider]

I think I've also gone over to the Dark Side.
I recently gave away my ski helmet in favor of a blue one to match my jacket and skis (pants are ALWAYS basic black - like bike shorts or tights).
My mittens and gloves also coordinate.
If it doesn't match directly - it's black.
Sad.
Bike gear not necessarily the same way - my clothes don't all match my bike, but I try to have gloves match the jersey I'm wearing. My helmet (Giro Pneumo) is red/white/blue, which sort of matches my commuter, but not my mtb or road bike. Sigh. I can live with that, however.
It kills me when I would see DH on his rust colored bike (now gone) in a blue helmet and blue LBS kit. Gads! Horrible color clash! He's got to get a new basic silver or ti helmet next!
See...so not only do I try to coordinate myself, I'm trying to coordinate my DH.
It's a disease.
Oh...And I also vote for the blue helmet - if that's your only bike. Go for basic white if you have others you ride.

First off, I think the blue helmet is *really* pretty. I'm thinking it's time for a new helmet for myself, and I like the design of these. What is the brand?

I have always worn a white helmet so that it will match (or at least not clash with) whatever jersey I'm wearing. I always make an attempt to match jersey, socks and helmet. Do you wear a lot of jerseys with blue in them? Or plan to? If so, I'd go with the blue. Otherwise, I'd go with white. But if you are really drawn to the blue, buy it. Whatever makes you feel good while riding is the right choice.
