Yes, cats' whiskers can turn white with age.
Cat whiskers turn black due to the presence of melanin, a pigment that gives color to hair and skin. Melanin production increases as cats age, causing their whiskers to darken over time.
simple. they (like cats) have whiskers so that they can sense things when they are near. now say for example, you were to sneak up behind cat/dog. right before you would be even a foot away, they would sense you coming, and eventually turn around. Did You Know? cats have longer whiskers than dogs, so they can sense faster and better than dogs. also, cats and dogs arent the only animals with whiskers!!
Yes whiskers are used to help balance as well as feelers to help them judge space and help in the dark. A cats tail also helps them balance, my cat had lost his tail do to an injury and now he uses his whiskers more to help balance. Even though Issacc lost his tail his balance is as good as ever, they adapt. Whiskers on all animals help them move threw the dark, a good example is a rat, a rat stays close to the wall when running around in the dark and his whiskers make this possible. The whiskers feel along the base of the wall and the animals can make judgment calls extremely fast to tell them to turn, stop, or whatever the case may be.
Cats' skin can turn black due to a condition called hyperpigmentation, which is an increase in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This can be caused by various factors such as genetics, age, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation.

Whiskers, also known as "tactile hairs" or vibrissae, whiskers are the long, thick, flexible hairs ­on a cat's face and eyebrows. Whiskers are rooted very deep in the cat's face, in an area rich in nerves and blood vessels.Whiskers help the cat feel his way around. Whiskers are so sensitive that they can detect the slightest directional change in a breeze. At night, for example, this helps a cat slink its way through a room and not bump into anything. How? The air currents in the room change depending on where pieces of furniture are located. As the cat walks through the room and approaches the couch, he'll know which direction to turn based on the change in air current around the couch.In addition to having sensory properties, a cat's whiskers are also a good indicator of his mood. When a cat is angry or feels defensive, the whiskers will be pulled back. Otherwise, when the cat is happy, curious or content, the whiskers will be more relaxed and pushed forward.But the whisker's primary use is to help a cat judge whether or not he'll fit through an opening. A cat's whiskers are roughly as wide as his body -- sort of a natural ruler. The whisker tips are sensitive to pressure. You'll probably see a cat stick his head in and out of an opening before he puts his body in. He's judging the width of the opening, and is determining if he can fit into it. An interesting note: cats don't have a true collar bone, like humans. This allows them to turn and twist their way through very narrow openings.Peace and Love!
