I suppose a white base layer would work to hide nipples. Or perhaps @WhyFi can find some wicking/breathable pasties.

The colored base layer looks good under a dark or monochrome jersey. It really pops when the jersey is unzipped a little for ventilation. I like wearing mine when I wear all black or grey for gravel. Castelli has some new Pro Mesh base layers with color but they are not suitable for really hot conditions.
