What kind of keycaps you think looks better on a white keyboard?

1) Among this set (same thickness pbt) of three colors:
White keycaps
Black keycaps
Navy keycaps

2) Among any set out/any color out there:

Hmmm...

Black mods, white alphas on a white board sounds awesome to me, although I could also go for navy mods...

My favourite colour combination, though, is a combination of white, orange and black or grey. So I'd probably buy the Hack'd by Geeks set to put on a white board :)

White/grey keycaps imo, e.g. HHKB Pro 2 white layout

Most sets go very well with a white case.

My KeyCool has white case, and white PBT keycaps.  Looks very clean.

Get an skull squadron set. Either DCS, or the limited edition DSA.

huge fan of black keycaps (printed/blank) on white cases.

it just looks so pretty (to me, at least)

Definitely white. White on white keyboards have a very nice clean look to them. White is chique without being presumptious, tasteful without being shouty.

White on white and black on white are both really nice combinations. White on white is nice if your going for a really clean look, the contrast of black on white, like demik's above, can also be really cool.

I also really like the look of black on black. Pain to photograph though.

I'm trying to decide whether i want to flip my black 87u and buy a white one or just get a blue set of keycaps for the black one. Unfortunately i don't like the white/grey though and everyone seems to be hoarding there all white 87u.
