I forgot: changing the third parameter in Hue so that it will vary with x

    WhiteToColor[h_][x_, maxBk_:0, maxWh_:1] :=
        Hue[h, maxBk + x(maxWh - maxBk), 1-.5 x]

....will give a better contrast. See this for example:

    DensityPlot[Sin[(x + y)*y], {x, -Pi,Pi}, {y, -Pi, Pi},
        PlotPoints -> 50, Mesh -> False, ColorFunction ->WhiteToColor[1]];

and this

    Plot3D[Sin[x^2+y^2]/(x^2+y^2) ,{x, -4, 4}, {y, -4, 4},
        ColorFunction ->WhiteToColor[.84],
        PlotRange -> All, PlotPoints -> 150, Mesh->False];

(using just x, instead of 1-.5 x) gives a transition from black to the
chosen color - not a great sight)

cheers,
Peltio
