Buffalo milk is white, all milk is different shades of white and yellowish white depending on the animal or the food that the animal is eating. For instance, cows that graze in green pastures in summer usually produce yellowish, more "creamy" looking milk. The yellow tinge is due to beta carotene. Buffalo milk is thicker than cows milk, so it is more opaque.
(moved from discussion)
The compound that gives the cow milk it's characterizing yellowish color is the beta carotene, which is a lipo-soluble vitamin. The beta carotene is composed of two vitamin A bonded together. In buffalo milk, the bata carotene is in it's compositors form i.e. two Vitamin A instead of one Beta Carotene, so the compound that participates significantly in giving the yellowish color is simply not there.
Buffalo milk contains more fat content than cow milk. Similarly, Buffalo have an ability to convert carotene in to vitamin A, as compare to cow milk.
