A black helmet is going to be hot as hell down there. I'd go yellow, light grey, or white.

Go yellow. Better visibility. And it will annoy the fashion police.

Yellow from the choices listed. I'd do white. They are the most visible.

If you don't mind either colour, then yellow would be the best. Helmets in bright colours like yellow and white are apparently one of the best things you can do to make yourself more visible on the road. Much more effective than say hi-vis jackets etc.

Of course, if you borrow another bike, then you will look a tool.
