Neon Orange helmet to match S40 color?

I need to replace my 15 year old helmet. My wife thinks that I should try to match the color of my new S40, which is neon orange. It's not a big deal to me, but since I need to buy something, I might as well try. What I have found so far is the Kask Mojito 3 (Orange Flou), Sena R1 (Electric Tangerine) and Smith Persist MIPS (Matte Cinder). Any other recommendations?

That's pretty cool. My wife will just roll her eyes and ask why I keep buying bike stuff! :)

What is wrong with the old one? Old hat? Could you get one and paint it? Why bother with a hat at all? You could ride across Ilkley Moor without one.

Oh, good. I’m not the only one.
I got a White/Grey/Red Giro Vanquish to match my Frost/Fire V20.
I've seen a few roadies with those, and like that it has a lense. At the top of the lense the lines and air flow seem to be really smooth before it gets to the vents. On a recumbent I think it is important to prevent air from entering under the lense when our heads are tilted back. For 1 it stops bugs and other stuff from getting in our eyes, and 2, it seems that air entering under the lense would slow us down. When I tilt my current helmet which is a Limar 007 with a DIY Giro Air Attack lense, the lense actually touches my cheekbones. So, how close can you get the bottom of the lense to your cheekbones by tilting the helmet forward with your Vanquish?
