Light is "White" because it's a mix between all the colors of the rainbow. Each color of the rainbow has a different wave length. "White" light is a mix of ALL of the wave lengths (all the colors of the rainbow). When we see that clear, colorless mix, we call it 'White'.

White light comes from combining all sorts of colors. White light is just a mixture of all

colors. We see colors from white light because we can separate diffirent wavelenghts

(with a prism, for example). That's also why we see a rainbow - white light refracts on

drops of water, under a specific angle - working as a prism - thus we see a spectrum

of colors.
