Well, there was a time when it went whitish:

aye, but that\'s assuming the cave ceiling is perfectly smooth. there would most likely be stalagtites and various bumps, cracks, and chinks that would cause water to \"pool\" at and drip down.
Yup, which is why the following paragraph deals with the uneven surface:

If the condensing water forms a river, it\'ll encounter the uneven surface and follow them to the nearest point that is lowest. That would be spikes hanging from the ceiling.
From the tips of these, the water would fall down, as it has no other way to go.
Result: instead of rain, which would fall anywhere within the region with the same probability, there would be distinct places where water falls down, and not in form of distributed drops but instead of a continous trickle or even flow. (...) the water would still drip down in the exact same places all the time.
So the \"rain\" would be very different from RL rain in that it is always stationary.
