Not only better temps, but visibility is another plus.

Absolutely. I have a white F6B, a white Shoei NeoTec, and usually wear a white Joe Rocket jacket. Cooler temps, and cagers think I'm a cop, so they act right. Well, at least, better. The other cool thing about white helmets is that they are usually less expensive than the others of the same model.

I have this really light blue biltwell helmet that's called Seafoam blue and when I would pair it up with a set of aviator glasses, I swear people looking back in their mirrors thought I was a cop.  I'm not even exaggerating but I can't tell you how many people would move over from the left lane to let me pass and you know most folks don't move over for crap.  Even Ruthy noticed it.

It is hilarious to see, and nice that they get the hell over.
