Albedo
...was the word I was trying to think of whist sat watching a boring presentation this morning (once I’d exhausted the diversionary potential of picking tell-tell bits of gold varnish off my fingernails).
The projector had been set up a bit low, so that the green Windows XP “Start” button was emblazoned across the seated presenter’s completely bald and exceptionally shiny pate.
I wish the word had come to me during the presentation. It would have been nice to congratulate him afterwards for having “a very good albedo”.

This might have helped:

Or possibly not really.
Um... Dare I ask... Are you sure you meant albedo?
It's the right word! :-)
Selina, I thought you were a bit of an astronomer, you should know better! ;-)
Guess he could be pale but not shiny. Was his name Matt??....
