How to get a Whiter head?

[ctvLS]

What kind of grain is better for a whiter head
Roasted Barley or Patent Black

I had the idea that patent was better for wither heads and roasted barley always provided some addition of color to the head of the beer. But a friend of mine had the complete opposite idea, and after searching arround the internet, (and this forum) i just found lots of confusing arguments one way or another.

I'm thinking wheat as well. Black patent or roasted barley seem like they would only make it darker

I can't remember which off the top of my head, but I do recall reading that one of those will give your beer a darker head than the other. I'll try and remember which book it was and look it up.
