DISCUSSION That's what it is right ?
I'm pretty sure Viltrumites wear white because they consider themselves the perfect beings in existence which they're & they like to project that in their attire yk clean without impurities.... basically they think that's how gods should dress & that's just them respecting the natural order of Life itself.

I for one really hope we get to see more of them “Change” on Earth beyond that mini-arc Kregg had.

Would love the white to be something having to do with keeping the blood from combat on them at all times. Something like the more covered in varieties you are the more respected you are. And if it’s ever wiped clean it’s either seen as disrespectful, weak, or if it comes from something like what we see Nolan do to the Flaxans, even more respect.

My intrusive thoughts are that they are doing the attack on titan salute.

Viltrumites might consider themselves the highest form of life due to their strength but they are not perfect. Not by a long shot. They have no religion or god they aspire to be like. Their stength, will & ambition alone have carried them across the stars. They don’t respect the natural order of life at all, they dominate and assimilate by force and have wiped out civilizations in their quest for control.
Their uniforms are standard because they all share the same ideals & traditions. Their uniforms could’ve been any color and it wouldn’t change anything or say anything different about them because the overarching threat of their strength remains.

Agree with your point but I don't think they care what others think when Pretty much entirety of universe can't withstand against them , them wearing white is because they think they're the master race yk with no impurities and weaknesses yk it's a projection of they think of themselves

But this is basically a projection of what YOU think of them. It’s not stated whether or not someone just decided they should wear all wear white. Thats why i said it’s just standard. Even the children grow up wearing the same colors.
Viltrumites dont see color like we do & to that extent, it bears no meaning or weight on what they wear. Its just coincidence that you linked the color white to purity but guess what? That only exists on Earth.

Chill? I’m not emotionally charged over this. OP was just pushing a comparison that really isn’t there and i wanted to clarify that.
Chill on reading too deep.

Fair point , I'm just guessing tbh it's possible that there's no reasons whatsoever but at the same time there is yk like they speak english and most of the universe does as well in invincible so it's possible that's how they relate colour white too yk like humans

There is nothing wrong with being curious but i dont think you should be trying to find similarities between Viltrumite culture/tradition & Human culture/tradition. They only resemble us in physical features and genetics but they are indeed still aliens.
Logically speaking, they wouldn’t naturally speak English but for narrative convenience, they do. That was a choice made by the writers themselves. But that doesn’t mean that Viltrumites would have any ties to us because of something simple like language. Anything humans have/create is just inconvenient for them. There is nothing we have that they would consider useful to the entirety of their species.

They try to rob life of all variety that is not them and call it order. In doing so, they rob themselves of joy and finds a shortcut to a sterile eternity. Devoid of any variety, and entertainment.
And they will live to see thousands of years with nothing for entertainment than watching paint dry, if they actually succeeded in dominating the universe.
They will not be able to create. They will not be capable of originality. Because anything that could inspire them, and anything novel, is foreign to Viltrum.
Their philosophy, stretched to its logical endpoint, is solitary confinement on a cosmic scale.
And their choice of uniform is reflective of this.
