The Yakima RidgeBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02457 has always just been available in this silver color - the changes that have happened to it over the years have been more mechanical and had nothing to do with the color. The black version you might be thinking of is the Yakima BackRoad 2 Bike Rack # YA64FR which is a different bike rack altogether.
For a Pearl White bike rack the only one I've ever come across is the Kuat Sherpa. This fits a 1-1/4" receiver with part # SH12P or a 2" receiver with part # SH22P and is a wheel mount bike rack as opposed to the hanging style of the Yakima RidgeBack you initially referenced.
I really do like the Sherpa so if your bikes don't have a front fender, weigh 40 lbs or less, and the tires aren't wider than 3" this is definitely a viable option in the color that you're wanting.
Attached are review videos of each bike rack for you to check out. The one for the Sherpa is with the Black option but the features are all the same.
