So this is the LN57 throwback edition. Sunflower Gold is the closest helmet color with the W.

Wow, that "yellow" helmet is one ugly thing. :)

It does have a sort of "leathery" look to it. Very similar to the siding I just put on the house. My next door neighbor says I have too much yellow in mine too. I could live with it. Regardless, it's what is inside the uniform (and home) that really matters.
