which helmet color makes you "feel" the fastest/greatest/happiest?

The color that makes he the happiest is the one that I got on a great deal.

I'm not too particular, but one thing is for sure is that black is the hottest color, and dark grey is a close second. Helmet color DOES make a difference, more so with a moto helmet but with bici helmets as well. I wouldn't own a black helmet even in Ohio, and if I lived in Texas I don't think I'd get anything but white. You can get creative and decorate it with reflective stickers!

I try to avoid black, because it's hot and I live in a desert. I look for fit first; color is secondary. My current helmet is red/white/black. It matches my cross bike. Nothing matches my other two (teal/white, and blue-green-purple). My next helmet will be what ever color's on sale, since the only helmets that I've found that fit me are the super $$$ ones.

Yeah. No dark colors, they absorb heat. Light color or big sections of white, plus good fit, vents, visor to keep the sun off my face and rain out of my eyes, lightweight, comfortable, bonus points if I can get it on sale. Currently I have one that's red and white and one that's red, white and blue.

I have a hot pink Rudy Project (and my team kit is black/neon green/highlighter yellow accents... so I don't match at all in regards to helmet w/ kit). I just love obnoxious neon colors and this one was on sale at the LBS
