colorscheme in vi

[Pierre Frenkiel]

hi,
I wanted to open vi with a white background and a black fg
to do that, I put in my .vimrc, as recommended, a line
    colorscheme white
that worked, except that each time I open vim, I get the message:
   cannot find color scheme 'white'
I don't worry, but is there a way to get rid of that warning?
best regards
