Wearing white gold and platinum

Q: I will be getting married soon Insha Allah. I know that men are only allowed to wear silver and women are allowed to wear gold and silver. However what I wish to ask is that is it permissible for men and women to wear white gold? Is the law of white gold any different from the law of normal gold? Could you also explain whether men and women are allowed to wear platinum?
