White light is the sum total of the colors in the visible spectrum. We know this because it's possible to separate white light, with a simple prism, into a visible spectrum, from red to violet.
If you have a prism at home you can try it yourself! if not, do an internet search for Dark Side of the Moon, by Pink Floyd.

White light is a combination of all the colors of the visible spectrum. When all the colors of light are present in equal intensities, they combine to form white light. In contrast, absence of light or complete darkness is represented by black, rather than white.

The color that we see is not the color of the object in question, but the color of the light it reflects.

White light is the combination of the entire visible spectrum combined. Thus a "white object" reflects all colors of light.
