The White House was made of sandstone, and specific stone involved is a pinkish shade of gray. The story is that the first coat of white paint was applied after the building was badly burned during the War of 1812.
According to the Wikipedia article on the White House, the building was originally painted white, and the name White House was being used by 1811.

In the early days the white house was formally called the "President's Palace"; although this title soon changed over to "Executive Mansion" in 1810 to avoid connections with royalty. Even with all these name changes, the majority of society referred the building as the white house. The porous sandstone walls were coated with a mixture of lime, rice glue, casein, and lead, giving the house its familiar color and name. It wasn't until Oct 12, 1901 when President Theodore Roosevelt officially adopted the name "white house."
