Coloured keys seem to go best with a white case, so I'd say white keys on a black case, except black keys go well on a white case too.

White keys on a black case.  Black keys on a white case looks funny to me, but others seem to like it.  White keys on a white case is also nice, and so are black keys on a black case.  LOL.  Just buy two of the same keyboard in black and white, then trade the caps.  See which one you like, then sell the other one.

Such succinctness - I'll have to try to remember that phrase ;)

Never really liked white keys on a black case. Something looks off to me, maybe even cheap. :X
Then I guess it depends on what colour keys you put on there. Stronger colours look better on black, while something like jelly keys looks better on white.

Those alphas dont look white, looks more  like a light grayish tone

They are a slight off-white, but compared to the black case, they might as well be white.
