I just ordered a new helmet from Revzilla. Its plain white and I was thinking about adding some reflective tape or decals. Looking for recommendations for either reflective white tape, or colorful tape/decals.

In France, it is obligatory to have a specified number of reflective white stickers of a certain size on every helmet. In Europe, most helmet shops give these stickers out free - certainly in France, they are available at no charge from just about every moto dealer (they have huge rolls of them). Maybe one of our European members can provide a link to where you can get a pack of 4 of them.

Well, you made the right choice of helmet colour as far as conspicuity is concerned. You will stand out amongst all the black helmeted riders out there! Your local auto supply store should have retro reflective tape that you could cut to shapes you want. You want RETRO reflective, not just reflective.
Always a white helmet for me. I use this tape, cut in a simple pattern, sides and back.

3 Twisted Throttle stickers on my new white helmet. They are reflective.
I found some reflective tape in high viz green and white in the bicycle section at Academy Sports.
I ordered a few Radiation stickers from Twisted Throttle. Still shopping for reflective tape and trying to decide on colors.

I'm not sure where I got it but I got a big Question Mark (?) reflective sticker. When people ask about it I just say I don't know.

Have you thought of putting your state flag on the back? You can usually find them made of reflective materials.

I ended up with stickers from Twisted Throttle (1 RAD(iation) warning sticker and 2 Twisted Throttle reflective warning stickers) and AeroStich Solas grade reflective tape on the back of the helmet. Put some RevZilla reflective stickers on the sides of the helmet.
Took a trial run with my new helmet and it appears that I picked the right size. There is more road noise than my old Schuberth helmet and I think I need some better noise cancelling earbuds. Suggestions on noise cancelling earbuds would be appreciated.

In addition to a sticker on the back of the helmet I put two stickers nearer the front. Cut in triangles, they were low on the full face so that when I turned my head to make sure the lane was clear the sticker would flash briefly.
Nothing too exciting. Not sure if it helped but I've been riding for nearly 40 years now and have only slid across two lanes of the 405, on my head, once. So there's that.

I used three colors of Scotch .25" reflective tape around the base circumference and a strip around the part of the visor.

This is the SOLAS tape that Riderwearhouse (Aerostitch) sells. Lights up like the sun.
