Well, I couldn't think of a plausible 'fix'. I thought I'd leave that up to you. : ) And while some of your other suggestions sound feasible, this one is a little farfetched. If, in the scenes in question, the helmets had started one color, then changed to the other color, it would be believable. But the colors alternate back and forth from gray to yellow. And the lighting in each scene doesn't appear to change. Maybe they operate more like the 'mood rings' of the seventies, and being women, their moods are constantly changing, LOL. How's that for farfetched? : )

What's your "fix"? I think the accessories are made of a new
experimental material which undergoes chromatic change according to
the different lights it is exposed to... :)

painted a very light grey color. Yet in other shots, they are
painted yellow.
