Officially the home team wears white, with the away team wearing colors, but since the home team gets to decide what it wants to wear, that distinction makes little difference and most media references seem to call the white jersey for the away jersey.
I believe for football and hockey, the home uniform is colors, while for baseball and basketball, the home team is white.
However, since the NFL and NBA allow the home team to pick color or white (while NHL and MLB do not), it's merely tradition in the former two leagues.

In the NFL, the only two teams that wear white at home more often than not are DAL and MIA.

Interestingly, since the Dolphins introduced the throwbacks in 2015, when it's up to them, they have worn the aqua throwbacks more often than the aqua regulars.  (I don't think home teams can wear throwbacks in International Series games...?)

Now would be a great time for Ross to make the throwbacks permanent. He needs to do something to regain some goodwill with the fans.

Getting offended by something you see on the internet is like choosing to step in dog shite instead of walking around it.

It depends on the weather for some teams from what I've seen.   Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville usually wear white at home early in the year except if it's a prime time game.  Dallas, for whatever reason, likes to wear white all the time.   Cleveland used to do the same thing back in the Bernie Kosar/Ernest Byner days but they've switched to colors now.
