Makes sense to me. One of my favorite aircraft subjects ... the T-38 Talon ... no matter how they paint it, White, Black, Two-tone camo, Wrap around camo ... the wheel wells and landing gear are always white.

That was one of the reasons IIRC. Another is probably that it's easier to see around in them in low light conditions while doing repairs.
