Okay, I work in the jewelry business and the 1st answer on this page is exactly right!! All the rest are total B.S. It is gold mixed w/ silver colored alloys. yellow gold is made the same way...w/ gold colored alloys added. NOTE 24k gold is .999 PURE GOLD and it is always YELLOW!! there is no such thing as 24k white gold. The natural color of gold is yellow. rose gold is much the same it has alloys such as copper to give it a pink hue. Hope this helps.. anymore jewelry related q's ...feel free to e-mail me!

This information page from Gillett's Jewellers, based on Australia's Gold Coast, taught us that white gold is an alloy of gold mixed with white metals such as nickel, silver, and palladium. Like yellow gold, white gold glitters in a variety of carats: 18ct, 14ct, or 9ct.
Eighteen-carat white gold consists of 75% gold mixed with 25% white metals. New white gold rings are usually coated with a hard protective finish of rhodium, a silver-white metal like platinum. To keep a white gold ring looking its best, Gillett's recommends an annual replating of rhodium, since the coating wears off over time.
