All my "important" (read: wedding, engagement, eternity)rings are y/g and white/gold, but I've been married for sometime, and y/g was what was in at the time.......I adore white gold, platinum looks like surgical steel to me. Rose gold is lovely but looks awful with my skin-tone. I have my pearls set with white gold.
Which do you prefer - White, or Yellow Gold?

I'm allergic to nickel as well and can't wear white gold which has nickel. But those that I own are nickel-free and are mixed instead with palladium.
Yeah, you can
) Otherwise I'll be sad, lol! Some of the better jewelry places will even have a statement declaring that they have no nickel in their white gold.

My wedding ring is platinum and I just adore it. I only own 1 piece of yellow gold jewelry, the cross my grandfather bought me in Switzerland. I've had it for over 10 years and I never take it off.
Thank you to everyone, for your replies and votes! 
I'm also allergic to nickel, lovehermes and SerenitySue (amongst many other things
) and used to react to it when wearing inexpensive sterling silver and costume jewellery (prior to the EU Nickel Directive [valid from the 20th January 2000] which reduced levels of nickel and/or replaced nickel white gold with palladium white gold); but, thankfully, presumably due to rhodium plating and wearing higher quality, more expensive alloys, I've never (yet!) had a problem with white gold (but then, I don't wear it 24hrs a day!).
Japan and China have taken a similar position to the EU on nickel, but the US is taking a more relaxed approach; only requiring jewellery to be labelled as nickel-containing. Many other countries have not yet taken a stance on nickel in jewellery and nickel white golds are still widely sold.
