I think raspberry is grey. Some lupins produce white pollen (some lupins produce other coloured pollen), and one of our clematis does too but I can't remember the variety - at least it looks white on my clothes.

Foxglove....have been watching lots of bumbles with white backs.
Do honeybees work foxgloves?

elder and prickly berberis both have white pollen and there have been plenty of bees working them between showers.
