I think in speaking of white gold, you are talking about what is done with it to give it strength in use as jewelry etc.
Adding nickel is obviously NOT part of any purification process. Purifying Gold removes what is not gold - it does not include adding things to the gold, that is counter to the concept. IE, you don't seem to be paying attention, are misguided in your response or are being misleading.

Oh, I see, so when you said that "white gold is actually purer than yellow gold" you weren't talking about actual white gold (which is yellow gold mixed with silver or nickel and therefore not "actually purer than yellow gold"), you were talking about "white" gold--that fantastical creation of your imagination. Too bad you chose a name for this mystery metal that was already in use.

Huh???? You making absolutely no sense here in any way shape or form. (Other than you are agreeing with WildHorseCrash that adding nickel does not make gold more pure)

As shown in the post by RadioAstronomer, elemental gold, that gold within which no other element is present, reflects light within the yellow portion of the spectrum. It is not clear.

For the last 8 years, Canada has used gold that is 99.999% pure in a $350.00 coin. It is yellow in colour.

White gold is not pure gold but gold with other elements added. Those added elements give it its white colour. Adding elements is the only way to make it white.
