in freefall the pics do look pretty white, but see attached picture of me under canopy... this V-1 only has about 200 jumps on it.
I'd recommend adding a darker color to the high wear spots - the butt (sitting on the plane), the chest/shoulders (under your rig) and the collar (neck sweat).
For worries about seeing grips, try black gloves!

Back of my S-Fly Expert is white and is still looking good after 95 jumps though odd marks are starting to appear. First ones were from in aircraft, so watch out, then a couple of tiny grass staines.
I'm more of a face planting type of person or knees these days, if ever, but have just downsized canopies so feeling a bit more worried....lol.
this suit had about 800+ jumps by the time this picture was taken. It looks slightly grey/yellow-ish up close due to the sunlight. But in general, white as can be for pix and video.
