Investopedia explains 'White Candlestick'

Candlestick charts are primarily used by technical traders because of how quick a day's price movement is conveyed. There are many formations which can be used as a buy, sell or hold indicator.

Red/black candlesticks represent a downward movement for the day, which are opposite of white candle sticks.

Most charting software will allow you to change the colors of these candles. Even though white is the common color for this type of candlestick, any color can and is used by traders.
