Lazier Tardiz Helmet Color?

 Okay, let me preface this question by turning in my man card and admitting up front that this is a vanity question regarding the color of a helmet....  Okay, with that out of the way, here goes.  I am using a LG Superleggara aero helmet now but I have never been that happy with it.  It feels like a giant golf ball on my head, I mean they all look silly but this thing is redonculous!  

I tried the Lazer Tardiz at my local shop this past week and really really liked the way that it fit.  The one they had was solid black and while I love they way it looks I was worried about heat absorbtion.  I can get a great deal on this helmet out of the shop but for the black one.  Should I spend the few extra bucks for a white or other color or does it really matter?  I race in the SE mostly though my ironman this year is in November.  

Is the black helmet a bad idea or am I obsessing again? 

 

Thanks!

I pondered the same question, and went with black anyway. I've ridden in helmets of all colors and never noticed a difference, although admittedly the Lazer is my first aero helmet. I had a hard enough time getting over the dork factor of even wearing an aero helmet, so I went with a color I liked. It's a very nice lightweight helmet, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it on. Hopefully it works out, if not, it'll be up for sale on EBay...

I've got a Giro Advantage 2, all black. Never had any issues with heat, and I'm a big dood that sweats massively already.
