from
Wikipedia
The Tsar himself was often called the " Great White Tsar ", while he included among his official titles the style ( literal translation ): " The Sovereign of all Rus ': the Great, the Little, and the White ".
This appellation, together with the solemn wording " White Tsardom ", was in use till the very end of the Russian Empire.
Ultimately, this colour was transferred onto the name of the counter-revolutionary White Army that fought against the Red Army.
