i just ended my period, but my doctor said that since i haven't had sex ever yet it's okay for me to start right away on the white ones. but do i have to take a certain color while i'm having my period, or do i just go through the white, then the light blue, then the dark blue, then the green....???? i got ortho tri cyclen, if that helps at all.

Read the package insert. If you can't figure it out, ask your mom (if thats an option) or call your doctor.

Your doctor said to take it right away.
So take it right away.
The FIRST pill of the FIRST week, then the second, then the third, etc.
Keep taking them one pill a day at the same time each day, whether you get your period or not. Your body will need some time (a few months) to get fully coordinated with the pills.

Ask your pharmacist when to start and what color to start with, then you just keeping talking the pills in circular order, 1 per day.

read the package insert - or go back and talk to your pharmacist about it - or talk to your doctor.
It's important to be responsible about your own health and make sure that you understand how, why, and when to take any and all medications that you are prescribed.
Good luck, hon!
