White noise is white because it’s just an amalgamation of a wide range of sound frequencies, giving one singular noise. Similar to the color white, which is the amalgamation of a wide range of light frequencies that come together and give one singular color.
So it could be said that any individual sound frequency could be a “colored sound”, but we don’t call them that. We just say what the frequency is, as it is just a long beep at a certain pitch.
