what I saw was that white is cheap and black is expensive. I don't know where you saw it, because black can't be bought now. Amazon has bought 1+ (black) white tmall for 68, and black is out of stock. I bought a black major, and there is no difference between white minor and black. White is too easy to get dirty, and it is not easy to clean up my white minor. Now it is all gray, which is very ugly. It is better to start with black.
