I'm with you. I have a helluva time seeing white...the problem is even more pronounced with clouds or overcast skies. White is OK for the center or between stripes but it's better (for me anyway) if the tips are darker. Here's the bottom of one of my wings (other side is a mirror image) using a scheme that I thought would be very high contrast...the picture was taken on an overcast day. Symmetry seems to help also...maybe it's a mental thing.
