If you are referring to a specific egg, then "The yolk of the egg is white" is correct. If you are referring to eggs in general, then "The yolk of an egg is white" is the correct syntax.
As a side note, egg yolks are usually yellow, although they can also be clear. If they are any other color, you may want to consider throwing them away.

The yolk of the egg IS white.
Yolk is singular, so you must chose a singular verb... "is" is singular, while "are" is plural.
