In many western and European societies, the colors gold and white are associated with goodness and divinity. White and gold invoke images of Heaven and angels, and embody purity and incorruptibility -- white light, when the beam is dispersed, becomes a rainbow of all colors, while gold never tarnishes, rusts or corrodes.
Thus in works of media, you're likely to see divine beings clad in white and gold. As white and gold can represent the sky as part of their association with Heaven, blue may also be featured. The deities may be associated with the colors beyond clothing, and thus have silver/white hair or have HairOfGold, with pale or bronze skin. Even if the gods are not good, the colors will still reflect their divinity. The colors may also feature on their relics. Mortals who are connected to the gods, or wish to [[AGodAmI appear as divine figures]], will also wear white and gold.
