Why not change the headstock to 6-in-line while they're at it

Luthier asks apprentice to finish guitar with a nice orange. Apprentice makes pigment from the white part. Moral: Don’t take the pith.

He also has a red (maroon), navy blue, and a purple/pink one if you look at his channel on YT.

I love it. The purple cutaway.
And the blue sweater. Primary and tertiary colors only flamenco. No stupid agrarian earth tones.

I would call white flamenco guitars a payo guitar. Josemi Carmona plays a payo cutaway. Looks like the nut width is 50mm. I wonder why cutaways tend to have a narrower neck. Is there any reason behind?

To me totally normal. Do you think the fact about rosewood back and sides being called negra bizarre? To me totally normal too. Unfortunately blanca is reserved for cypress back and sides.

A rosewood bodied flamenco guitar is called a "negra" because the wood is dark.
A cypress bodied flamenco guitar is called a "blanca" because the wood is pale.
But that is not what you said that I thought was bizarre.
What you said that I thought was bizarre was:

"Payo" has nothing to do with it.
That's the bit I still think is a bizarre statement to make.

Not my first choice. After blanca and negra a white one would be not bad. A great combination with a black shirt though.
