Like Tom Said.
The Clear beads RELEASE moisture when the RH falls below 65%
The White beads ABSORB moisture when the RH rises above 65%

So you really don't want them to be all clear or all white but a mix of 70% Clear and 30% white is the recommended mix. If your in an especially dry climate you would need to check your beads more frequently. If your in a wet (high RH) area (tropical rain forest), you may want to consider having more of them be white. 99.9% of the time your AOK with 70/30 percentages though.
