Skin-on-Frame: PVC Fabric Color Selection

This may be a silly question but before I place an order I figured I'd ask.

I'm building a Yost Sonnet and was going to go with relatively traditional colors you see on commercially-produced boats, a white hull with a single color deck. Looking at some of the previously made ones, however, you don't see white used much, if at all

I imagine this is mostly based on personal preference and available materials, but is there any reason to not use white for a hull? I wanted to make sure there wasn't a practical reason white was avoided, such as scratches showing up black or something weird like that.

Thanks!
