Thranduil's hair is white.

Talk to anyone who has studied art or photography, they will confirm that the color white reflects light. For example, if you wear a white shirt under a black light, it glows. Does this mean the shirt glows when it's under natural light? Of course not. Under a red light, it looks pink...under a blue light, it looks bluish....and so on. In order to see the true colors, one should always use natural light; in other words, outdoor light.

Thranduil's hair under natural light is white.

Thranduil's hair under golden light, from say, torches or firelight...(sort of like in several scenes in the films) only appears golden for this reason. This does not mean he has blonde/yellow/gold hair.

If you were to wear a yellow shirt (or any color) it does not magically turn white…ever. Only Pure White takes on colors from the light around it.

Thranduil's hair is white.

Legolas, on the other hand...well, his hair is slightly golden, but it’s more of a platinum blonde. Not gold like Galadriel’s signature locks.

But here's a hint....if someone's hair, or shirt, or dress, or shoes, whatever it is...if anything appears white at any point, under any type of light, it's white. White absorbs color....color does not absorb white.
