Why are night-blooming flowers generally white?

1. White stands out better in low light conditions making it easier for insects to find. 2. As they bloom at night the plant does not have to waste resources producing coloured pigments (for petals) to attract day insects (such as bees) - most night blooming flowers are pollinated by moths and bats. 3. Night blooming flowers are normally heavily scented - which acts as an attractant for nocturnal insects and mammal's.
