Horsehairs sporrans: Black with white tassels vs white with black tassels

the latter is far more common, but is there any meaning to the colours? I vaguely recall some significance attached to the colour scheme mentioned by a user, but cannot find one.

Please let me know your thoughts.

is there a particular reason why the black bodied sporrans are so much rarer in comparison? I would think there would be an even distribution?

Taste. Rank. Preference; that's all.
