White gold is an alloy of gold and at least one white metal, usually nickel or palladium. Like yellow gold, the purity of white gold is given in carats: 24 kt is pure gold, 18 kt has 18 parts gold and 6 parts of another metal, so it is 75% pure.
Since nickel is cheaper than gold this white (alloy) gold is cheaper than the yellow pure variant. The price of palladium is unknown to me, so I can't figure it out.
