Supported
White = alpha blend on them.
Why white & not black you may ask, simple; people are less likely to want whites than they are blacks. Between outlines & how many dark colours you'd lose the ability to use, losing the white spectrum is no big deal.
As I said, joint textures should be thought of as tattoos, and I'm sure anyone who's been inked will attest to how rarely white is applied directly.
If you want something white then offset the values a bit, just avoid sitting on the lighter end of grey-scale and all's good. Adding a bit of blue will provide the least noticeable tint.
