Beard stubble

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hi guys, I'm making a figure of a character who's an older gentleman, has long white hair and beard stubble.
Now my question is: Should the stubble be black or white? Since his hair is white, it should probably be white, but on all my reference pictures, it's black.
What do you guys think would work best?

And same thing about the hair on his hairy arms.
