It's either White or Titanium grey. Have any of you noticed a differance in inside temperature from a black (dark colored) helmet compared to a white (light colored) helmet? >> My last helm was all black. Didn't notice a difference with heat between it & my white loaner. The dark colors must attract at least a little more heat though. The RR4 looks like one of the best helms out there. Have always liked the Spencer model. I ended up going with the Harada replica quantum/f . Good visibility & great vent system. The RR4 was my first choice, economics at the time dictated the quantum though. Great helm and you're going to have it for a good while, get the color that inspires you most. I've found that any color other than black, with a dark smoke shield...seems to attract some attention. I always kind of cock my head in the direction of cagers with potential of pulling out in front of me. Sometimes I'm actually looking at them & sometimes I'm scanning for other potential dangers. The contrast of the dark shield against the lighter colored helm, coupled with the thought that folks seem to acknowledge that I seem to be staring at them, may or may not contribute to the fact that nobody's pulled out in front of me since buying the dark smoke shield & doing lots of head cocking. Or I've just been dumb @$#! lucky. Pardons for getting so off the temperature subject. All best. Scott A14 Sorrento
