doing lines hehehe

the prog i'm working on showes a cube where each face has a different texture on it. i also have lighting enabled. everything works just peachy except a new function i made that draws the origin on the screen. it uses GL_LINES to draw 3 white lines on each axis intersecting at 0, 0, 0. i set the color to white, but my lines show up black. my question is if lighting can effect the way lines are drawn, and what other possibilities there are for such undesirable effects. ie do lines require normals. . . etc...
here's my drawOrigin function

void drawOrigin(float radius)
{
	float r = radius/2.0f;
	
	glColor3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
	
	//x-axis
	glBegin(GL_LINES);
		glVertex3f(-r, 0.0f, 0.0f);
		glVertex3f( r, 0.0f, 0.0f);
	glEnd();
	
	//y-axis
	glBegin(GL_LINES);
		glVertex3f(0.0f, -r, 0.0f);
		glVertex3f(0.0f,  r, 0.0f);
	glEnd();
	
	//z-axis
	glBegin(GL_LINES);
		glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.0f, -r);
		glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.0f,  r);
	glEnd();
}

here's where i use it
<textarea name="implementation" rows=8 cols 120>

	void view(GLvoid)	
	{
		glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);	
		glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT|GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
		glLoadIdentity();

		glTranslatef(vector[X], vector[Y], vector[Z]);
		glRotatef(angle[X], 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
		glRotatef(angle[Y], 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
		glRotatef(angle[Z], 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
		
		rot +=.125f;
		if(rot >= 365.000f)
			rot -= 365.000f;
				
		glColor3f(.8f, .8f, .8f);
		
		drawCube(0.0f, 0.0f, -2.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, rot);
		drawOrigin(10.0f);
		
		glFlush();	
		SwapBuffers(g_HDC);//bring back buffer to foreground
	}
