In parts of the Appalachins,white cornmeal is favored for corn bread.In fact there is a saying "yellow is for critters,white is for people".
Can't tell much difference myself,but do prefer the stone-ground white.

[edit] About Yellow Cornmeal

Cornmeal is a flour made from ground corn kernels.They can either be yellow, white or blue, depending on the kind of corn used.

There are two types of cornmeal:

Steel-ground Cornmeal - The husk and germ of the corn kernel is almost completely removed, giving it a slightly longer shelf life.It should be transferred in an airtight container, and can be stored in a cool dry place.
Stone-ground Cornmeal - This has retained some of the hull and germ of the corn, giving it a little more flavor and nutrition, but a shorter shelf life. This type of cornmeal will keep longer if refrigerated.
