In 1812 the British burned the White House in the War of 1812. When it was repaired it was painted white. Paint was very expensive in the 1800's so to have a whole house painted white was very unusual and soon when asked about where the president lived they would refer to the "white house". The name stuck and now it is tradition to call it the White House.
Although it was not completed until a few years after the presidency of George Washington, it has been speculated that the "President's Palace", "President's Mansion", or "President's House" as it was originally referred to was named after Martha Washington's father's home "White House Plantation" where the first president and Martha had courted.

The scientific answer for white paint on houses is the same as why we wear white in hot climates-- white reflects the sunlight away from the house during the summer. This keeps the house cooler than houses with dark colored paint.
