Think about what happens when you put a bunch of clear plastic bags together, it looks white right? That's because the light is reflected. A polar bear's fur is exactly like that, a bunch of layered clear strands.

It's clear, but hollow. The light is refracted by the fur and looks white as it rebounds to our eyes.

The color varies from pure white to more of a yellow hue.
Which is also translucent.
