Deb I've seen hard hats in all kinds of colors. Perhaps pink with yellow poka- dots?
You may also wish to look into a bump hat. They sit a little bit lower on your head and don't fall off as easily. Bump hats provide less protection but are lighter and great for working in areas of low head clearance. I once customized a hard hat for myself. I sort-of became known by it. See that guy with the funny lookin' hard hat ....... When hiking with my dog over dry terrain I would pour canteen water into my hard hat and let her drink out of it. She approved. Hard hats have so many uses. BTW Once I was hit real hard in the head while wearing a hard hat. I fell to my knees and actually saw stars!!! Seriously, it may have saved my life.
