Lady Macbeth is saying that her hands are stained with the same blood as Macbeth's, symbolizing their shared guilt for their crimes. However, she feels ashamed that Macbeth is showing signs of weakness and guilt, as represented by a "heart so white," suggesting that he may not have the ruthlessness needed to see their plans through.
