This might seem like a silly question, but I’m genuinely curious!

Which ones? At least the ones I have (canon’s 70-200/4 L and 600 L) , its aluminium, not plastic…and I dont know if any high-end stuff has a plastic body.
Color is there for looks of “im running high-end stuff”, tho for cannon its more of the red ring, some L lenses are black, like the 17-40/4 L.
In the 90’s, PCs (desktops, anyway) were a variety of shades of snot. Off white, and not a nice off white either.
Reduces how much heat the material absorbs, and ensures that everyone around you knows that you can afford an experience lens.
Canons big lenses were painted white to reduce heat expansion of the glass elements inside, at least originally. Probably didn’t hurt sales to make their most expensive products a little more flashy, too.
