There is empirical evidence that suggests dark text on white backgrounds is 
more readable.  For some pointers to the research see:

  Given the basic perceptual processes involved here, the research should 
extrapolate to drawings -- worth considering from a form should follow function 
point of view.

For me, a more less beginner folder, I really appreciate clean computer 
generated diagrams (Diaz, or Trollip) or the hand drawn ones like Peyton.  This 
is not to say I don't appreciate style or wit; I crack up every time I fold a 
Joisel Rat...

2 cents!
