Its the same price they just put color

There's no such thing as "pure" white gold. Pure gold is 24K and is a bright buttery yellow. It is unalloyed, so there's nothing to change its color. The highest karat white gold can be is 18k (75% gold) because white alloys have to be added to whiten its color. Even so, it will have a dull yellow tinge. White gold is commonly plated with rhodium, a metal from the platinum family, to make it more silver, but as this plating wears off the yellow tinge underneath will show and it will need to be re-plated.

Your gold choice color is a matter of preference. White gold is enjoying greater popularity right now and may sometimes be more expensive, but this is really more a matter of demand and what sellers know they can get.

Also, pure gold is too soft not to combine it with other metals for strength.
