When I'm working with Cycles nodes, I turn off the hardware shading and have a poser surface with an image map or color chip. Then I don't have white or black

Right, I remember trying that at some point. I think the problem was that hardware shading provided a better preview of lights and shadows, and that's something I spend a lot of time on in my renders. But it's true that for texture work it would make sense to turn it off and then back on when the texturing is done, so thanks for the reminder!
