White is the color of a fresh start. In Star Wars canon the best-known white blades belong to Ahsoka Tano, and they started out red.
Why Ahsoka's lightsabers are white
After she left the Jedi Order, Ahsoka took the crystals out of an Inquisitor's lightsaber. Inquisitors have red blades because they bleed their kyber crystals with the dark side. Ahsoka used the Force to cleanse those crystals, and they turned white. So the blades are white because the crystals were redeemed, which is a pretty great detail when you think about it. You first see the white blades in Rebels, and she carries them again in the live-action Ahsoka series.
What white stands for
People generally read white as purity, neutrality, and a path that belongs to neither the Jedi nor the Sith. Dave Filoni, who created the Ahsoka series, has described the color as a marker of her neutrality going forward. It's the color of someone who's decided to do things their own way.
As far as current canon goes, Ahsoka's the only character recognized with white blades. White sabers do turn up in Legends stories, but that's a separate continuity. To see how white fits next to the rest of the rainbow, check what every lightsaber color means. And if you're curious how a crystal ends up red in the first place, kyber crystals explained covers it.
A pair, not a single saber
One thing that's easy to miss: Ahsoka fights with two sabers, which is a style fans call Jar'Kai. We go into that in beyond the seven forms, and the shorter of her blades is a shoto, covered in our hilt types guide.
Getting a white blade
Our Ahsoka lightsaber set comes as a pair and starts at $209, and there's a premium Ahsoka set at $599 for collectors (prices as of writing). If you'd rather try white on a different hilt, plenty of our color-changing sabers can show it. The Neopixel models are the most vivid, and the Neopixel guide explains why.
