Well, this isn't your everyday oak, but I did a quick search, and it is a very white grain. I would like them to add more variety to trees (maybe even reintroducing seasonal forests), but I have a feeling this one in particular won't end up being very popular, simply because it isn't a well known species (at least not where I live). So, kinda support? I guess?
I think that purely white is quite unnatural for wood. Why not just use the birch wood for this? Because birch wood in the game is already quite natural white wood. With bonemeal you then can make it purely white if you desire so.
I prefer this idea to the OP.

Ever hear of something called running away? Its like running towards them, but without the confrontation and death.
I appreciate the OP on a number of levels; the aesthetics of having orange-leaved trees mixed in with the greens would be a very pleasurable sight in the natural world, and I think the idea of color-able wood is nice because it circumvents the need for paint in many cases. Coloring wood would allow builders to create the illusion of painted siding on a house, different colored roofs, etc.
Also, I don't have any qualms about a wood that's whiter than the current birch. This idea has my support.
Except that it won't be complicated as well as being big.
Poplar trees.
Visual
Tall, black outside trunk with a few branches sticking straight up or at very sharp vertical curves.
Purely white wood inside. Like paper white.
Orange leaves at all times.
Sometimes occuring in it's own biome, sometimes occuring alongside birch trees.
Function
Can make pure white Poplar planks.
Poplar planks can be dyed in the same fashion as you would dye a piece of armor.
Same code. Same crafting process. Same texture mapping.
This is to open a giant pandora's box of new colors of block - without ever adding
more than 2 damage values and block IDs.
textures coming soon. hold on to your hats, because they'll fall off from sleeping while waiting
