All black. White shows dirt and grime too easy.

It's my favorite modern keyboard. It is as nice as the Ducky Shines I used to own and it is cheaper too. RGB was a nice bonus. Blue Kailhs feel fine, no issues at all with it.

Im just spergy and over enthusiastic. 

Wow! You are approaching TERMINAL Velocity with all these keyboards you have dude!  What really makes me wonder, is are you collecting them or actually using them on a daily basis, I mean er, actually using one for over a day.
It takes time to get the feel of what you really like and appreciate using every single day.  I had a thread that kinda suggested, if you had to make a choice, and you only could have ONE keyboard, what would you choose?
I am seriously curious as to what you actually find to be the perfect keyboard for you.  You have a relentless pursuit and I think it's amazing that you have amassed so much in so little time.  I am sure once you get your list filled, you will tell us soon enough! 
Amazing!

P.S.  Get BOTH if you can't decide.
Edit: I mean this.  You will get one and regret you didn't get the other.

I have an older KeyCool 87 which is whiter than white.

If this is the same white white, and not an off-white as so many are, I'd say go for white.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

or more to the point higher force key switches (in the realm of the sweet spot identified by IBM long ago)

I also prefer tactile switches to linear switches...so the Cherry MX Blacks didnt make my favs list.  I probably prefer the Blues to the Blacks...but the Browns are pushing it.
...

So he buys a board with Blacks... ;)

The black keycaps look awesome with the backlight showing through and the white may show the finger grime really easily, but I do prefer the "cleanness" of white on white, I'd replace the keycaps almost immediately anyway and white cases are pretty rare, so I'd probably go for the white one.

TBH, I don't bother with commercial boards any more, considering I have to do so much modifying to the switches (trampolines, springs, etc) and boards (case, plate, etc) to make them acceptable anyway.

Buying more keycaps,
it really hacks my wallet,
but I must have them.
