Yeah, I guess so. Honestly I don't think much there's much in it.. Try wading through this for an answer :-)

It might suggest for example, that a beanie (if you wear a skull cap, designed like this might be more ideal than all white or all black. The black part is already blocked by the sun because it's under the solid part of a helmet shell, and can pull more heat off your forehead and back of you head, while the white part is reflecting sun thru the vents.
