Most Visible Helmet colour, Red or Blue?
 
Hi guys, new rider here, going to purchase a new lid this weekend, I was just wondering if anybody had any ideas or thoughts on the question.. "is a Red or Blue (both w/white & black) helmet more visible to other road users?
They are the same make & model etc just different colour, I have a '99 CBR600 f4 in Red & blue so either would do as 'matching' the bike goes, I prefer the look of the blue but think the red would be easier seen and slightly safer in a way, may sound a silly question but thought I'd ask.

Cheers,

Soup

Red.

Yellow and orange are even more visible, but they wont match. ;)

It doesn't matter what colour it is if other motorists aren't looking - which happens an awful lot. Buy the one you like and ride like you're invisible.

The most visible color in the light spectrum is green, but depending on how blue or how red something is, and depending on how light it is outside, depends on how visible something is going to be

How 'bout white or mostly white? You could always add red/blue accents to it.

if its possible i would get a neon type or red or blue. and if you want to be more visible buy some reflective tape color of your choice and you can run it over your helmet for extra visibility!

like this, i just used reflective rim tape though.

^ The reflective tape is def worth recommending. I have it on my helmets.

Solid yellow helment with 1" yellow reflective tape accent stripes. My goal is to be obnoxiously visible.
