Why not, the white looks cool with the silver lens. I would get one. In fact I bid on a white camera, but lost the bidding.
My P&S is royal blue.
I saw a guy with a red Nikon D5400.
I get what I want, I don't care about what someone else thinks.
It is YOUR camera, you get what YOU want.
As long as the color is in the plastic, and not paint, you are OK.
The black bodies of the past was black PAINT on a brass base. So when the paint was scratched through, you would see the orange/yellow color of brass.
Metalized plastic will do similar. When the metalized coating is scratched through, you will see the base plastic.
If you want to give someone a practical reason, tell them that white reflects solar light/heat, black absorbs the solar light/heat. So the inside of a white camera won't get as hot as the inside of a black camera. But the body is plastic, and plastic is a heat insulator, so the practical effect is probably minimal.
