No, their noses are black and so is their skin, if you shaved one, it would be black. They look white but their fur is not actually white. The hairs are the color of your fingernails since they are made of keratin which is also what fingernails are made of. They look white when the sun reflects from them. See the related question below about their unique fur.

No they are not even white. Their fur is transparent and when light reflects off them, they appear white. Their skin is black. But if they are under light they will look white.
