I tried looking at What do the different colors mean in ls?, but the list doesn't state the color white.
Look at the image below:
What is the green and what is the white (libfuse.so and libfuse3.so)?

I'd guess white is a regular file and green is one with executable permissions set...? – Byte Commander Jan 29 '18 at 15:26

Green was described the linked answer as:
Green: Executable or recognized data file
White seems to be the default color (0), which means Normal (nonfilename) text and Regular file
More info can be found in man dir colors:
ISO 6429 color sequences are composed of sequences of numbers separated by semicolons. The most common codes are:
0 to restore default color 1 for brighter colors 4 for underlined text 5 for flashing text 30 for black foreground 31 for red foreground 32 for green foreground 33 for yellow (or brown) foreground 34 for blue foreground 35 for purple foreground 36 for cyan foreground 37 for white (or gray) foreground 40 for black background 41 for red background 42 for green background 43 for yellow (or brown) background 44 for blue background 45 for purple background 46 for cyan background 47 for white (or gray) background Not all commands will work on all systems or display devices. ls uses the following defaults: NORMAL 0 Normal (nonfilename) text FILE 0 Regular file DIR 32 Directory LINK 36 Symbolic link ORPHAN undefined Orphaned symbolic link MISSING undefined Missing file FIFO 31 Named pipe (FIFO) SOCK 33 Socket BLK 44;37 Block device CHR 44;37 Character device EXEC 35 Executable file
