This is just a guess, but i think it is because the color white is a mixture of frequncies of light ranging from red to violet, so if you look at the wave pattern, it will look like a complete mess. By contrast, a single colour will have a nice neat wave pattern. Therefore, i would assume that "white" is used as a metaphor for a wave which consists of a mixture of lots of different frequencies. White light is the combination of all visible frequencies of light, white noise is the combination of many (but not all) audible frequencies of sound.
