I used to feel that way myself until three months ago, when my Galaxy S died and I was in the middle of moving to a different city. When I called Sprint from my office, they refused to repair or replace my previous phone, but guaranteed I could pick up a black Galaxy S4 at a specific Sprint store.
I arrived at the store and was told they'd just sold the last black model. So much for my relationship with Sprint.
Immediately, I checked every other provider and found that the best deal on an S4 and monthly service was with MetroPCS (which currently uses the T-Mobile network as well as their own, but
only for that white S4). Since the only model they carried/supported was white, I sucked it up (as it were) and bought one off-contract for a hundred dollars less than I'd have paid anywhere else.
Whereupon I returned to my new (and predominantly white) digs, where I was informed by my painter girlfriend that white was a terrific color and just as neutral as black. I bought a Spiga Neo-Hybrid case in white and black at her urging and now know exactly what she means.
I'd still choose black over white in most cases, but, when paired with the correct design and texture, white no longer reminds me of dentists, hospitals, doilies and sanitary napkins.
