The President's house has natural stone walls that are off-white in color and that is the way it was until it was gutted by a fire set by British troops in 1814.
The fire blackened the stone walls, so when it restored, they painted the walls white. The painted walls were noticeably whiter than the natural stone had been , so people began calling it the White House.
