A healthy sperm cell is usually a white color (edit: Are you sure? just because semen is white doesn't mean the sperm cell itself is white, it might just be seminal proteins making it white), it can be thick or thin depending on the types of foods the male individually eats. If the sperm is yellow, yellow/green or a dirty white, these are signs that the sperm is unhealthy and this person may have some infection. A recommendation would be to always get your partner checked, at least once a month, and before any first time sexual activity with them, :D does that answer your question?
