Black Helmets?

I need a new helmet. Frankly, I think that black looks coolest but I was wondering whether a black lid might, in fact, act as a bit of a heat trap in the summer sunshine... Any ideas? A black helment would obviously soak up some more of the sun's rays than a similar white/light hat, but would this have any noticeable impact on head temps while riding?
And any special recommendations for helmets would also be nice.
Cheers.

I would recommend some thing like the Giro Monza or Bell Alchera which are priced around the £40 mark. Although dropping to the lower Bell Solar at £20 doesn't loose much style or quality at half the price.
Just think how many times your helmet will get dropped and battered in transition.

Of course, peddlers is right, helmet quality and safety features are more important than colour.
