I've seen some white RX100 parts on Ebay, looking to put together a complete A551 RX100 group for my old Cannondale that I'm restoring, but the video I saw was a complete groupset in white - cranks (but not rings), derailleurs (parts of them), brakes (the front arm, the rear looked gray like 105), hubs (I think). It makes for a very interesting look, built up into a bike. It was 7 speed/DT shifters, so it might have been early in the run. Most of what I've seen is silver, whether it's 7 or 8 speed, DT or STI.

I imagine in use it was a pain to keep clean - especially the hoods - but it's a nice look.
