AMDifficulty 2/5

Between equally approved, well-fitting helmets in good condition, does a dark colour provide greater visibility than a light or bright colour?

Correct answer

No; contrasting light or bright colours help you be seen.

No. Light or bright colours contrasting with the surroundings help other users see you; visibility also depends on lighting and conditions. Colour does not guarantee impact protection: approval, fit, fastening and condition matter. A dark helmet is not necessarily cooler and should not be chosen for reflecting less light.
