Just curious to see what the patterns are.  Smile Not just between solid colors...but between patterned/designed helmets and solid-color helmets.

Looks like solids are running more than 2 to 1 over patterns/designs. (Seems like I see more patterns that solids.) And black is the favorite solid so far...

I have a Mladdin replica AGV.  Only cause AGV was selling them out at an amazing price, like 75 bucks for an XVent.  I bought a Rossi replica at the same time for 50 bucks.  Shoulda bought a whole bunch.  
Oh, and I also have a solid silver AGV modular.  Sorta cancels out my vote in the poll.

I'm more interested in how a helmet fits than what it looks like.
I had my heart set on this beautiful white Shark helmet with black and silver graphics and a thin red line, it was lightweight, fit well and reasonably priced.  I actually bought it and took it home, at the shop's suggestion,  before returning it later.  Problem was I couldn't figure out a way to install my Auto-Com gear inside it.  So I bought a Shoei instead.  I got plain silver because 1) it goes with a varieity of bike and jacket combinations, 2) it has good visibility, and 3) The helmets with graphics cost an extra $150 and the only designs they had in stock looked like one of the tatoos on the back of a babe at the Meet-n-Eat swingers party

I dunno. I think most helmet graphics look like a colorblind "artist" with Tourette's Syndrome and an X-Acto knife went off on a stencil.  Rolleyes But that's just me—clearly many people like them!

I have two Shoei helmets, both black and silver patterned.  One is smaller, and I wear it when I've gotten a haircut recently.  When the knotty mess grows out a little more, I switch to the larger one.

I chose 'red' because that's the predominant colour; there are some black and white pinstripe graphics but from two car-lengths away it's just a bright red blob (with SOLAS tape added).

Yes, well, ahem.... Embarassment I did love the Shark, great lid.  I just never got it working well with my glasses.  Sold it and picked up a solid silver Shoei TZ-R that I wore for a couple of months last fall.  Decided I needed more color in my life and got a decent deal on the above TZ-R, sold the silver TZ-R.  So the blue helmet is actually the second one I've had since the Shark.

Maybe I am a helmet whore. Cool Lol

In all honesty, I choose a helmet based on price and fit, and perhaps weight.  Graphics/color is secondary.

Yes, I know, so typical. But I bought a white HJC symax to go with my white 93 VFR. Besides, cagers think I'm a cop. So, some good from it all. Also, it get a little hot in Texas, so the white keeps my brain from frying, some.
