It looks beige and not white, or its not taken in good light..
I’D SAY THE COLOR LOOKS LIKE CREAMY.
BUT WHO KNOWS IT IS DRY IN EASTERN OREGON SO THEY MIGHT JUST BE DUST COVERED BUT COMPARED TO BROWN I GUESS IN THE LIVESTOCK WORLD IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED WHITE.
Buffalo are double coated. It looks to me like they have a whitish outer coat with a brown undercoat, giving them the creamy beige appearance.
It also appears that the undercoat is a good deal lighter than the standard. I bet the calves appear very white and they darken as they age.
I’ve spun buffalo wool and it is very, very soft, like cashmere or qiviut (yak wool).
The fact that this wool has less pigmentation means that it can be chemically lightened and then dyed in pastels or brights with greater ease and less cost.
Pendleton Blankets are still made in Pendleton, Oregon and they are generally quite pricey. I imagine these will run to several hundred dollars or more as a limited edition.
