Black. The bees don't care and it makes it easier to see eggs/brood. Some like the white b/c it is more attractive (to humans).

black is the best to see everything in the cells like eggs and larvae.

Is there any reason why we should not mix black and white foundation in the same hive? I assume the bees do not care.
I use white for the supers and black for the brood. I tried white in the brood area and the bees would not use it and vise versa.
