Yes, white is the new black - Darth Vader is so last year... 8)

But seriously...

Fit First - then go for a known brand (i.e. a manufacturer with a good reputation) and then choose your colour... oh alright, have the red one then...

Ventilation - A well-ventilated helmet is a must if you sweat when skiing (most people do!); I get much less sweaty in a helmet than I used to with a hat - due to the built-in ventilation - so doubt I'll ever bother with a hat again.

Colour does matter - when the sun's out you will notice the difference between a reflective colour and, say, matt black... might as well fill with boiling water before putting it on... :lol:

Goggles - make sure there's a goggle strap and guides or other shaping to be "goggle-compatible". Either make sure your existing goggles fit well, or be prepared to spend out on some decent goggles too. Helmet and goggles work together brilliantly and when well-matched will mean no more goggle steaming in the restaurant and no pressure points on your face!

Admin as the owner of a dark matt blue bone dome, I'm yet to be convinced that buying a lighter shinier colour would make my head cooler. Mind you, I do have good ventilation in mine, and I'm not really affected, and it does have insulating material in the liner after all :D

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the naturally cool will have no worries... :wink:
