There is not a true white, due to the linseed oil base in Marmoleum. Linseed oil itself has a yellow tone to it and since there are only natural earth pigments in Marmoleum, there is nothing in it to bleach it to a pure white. We do have lots of customers enjoying a black and white checkerboard in their home, usually using something like Barbados and Eternity if you are doing it in the click format. If you are using the glue-down tile, then Black Hole and Stardust would be good options too.
