But I honestly think there are much bigger factors to affect temperature than the color or matte/glossy enough to be felt.
That wasn't a great test, and not a good comparison for cycling. Cycling helmets have lots of vents, moto helmets do not. But a bigger issue, they tested with the helmets stationary, but when riding (with or without a motor) you're in motion and the wind will remove a lot of heat.
