I am just curious, usually before final painting the base coating is either yellowish or greenish (based on the chemical composition).
Greenish:
Yellowish:
+gray
So KAAN with white base coating is rather unique.

Isn't this the composite material's own color?

Colour can be literally anything. Depends on the layup fibers/matrix dye...one or both can be hot pink if you want it....but that kind of thing would look unprofessional and probably needs some extra calibration when testing EO/IR signatures without RAM application etc.
Have Blue (nighthawk) was something close to white as well iirc before they slapped some camo on it too. It went fully jet black lot later.

For an example, KF21 bulkhead.
Original
Coated
KF21 use yellowish base coating.
From:
MIL-PRF-23377K Epoxy Primers | Type I & II, Class C2 & N
Shop QPL-qualified MIL-PRF-23377K aerospace epoxy primers. High-solids corrosion protection in Type I (Standard) & Type II (Low-Density). Classes C1, C2, and N available.

I guess some of the "yellow" and "chrome-free" primers end up looking whitish or some kind of white beige (also depending on the final topcoat layer that might not be perfectly colourless/transparent).
I'd like to clarify my previous response that I was treating the underlying composite and epoxy primer as one unit visually....epoxy primer would likely have a different colour (to composite matrix) to check for even coating etc.
In the kaan video, you can actually see a few shades different in certain parts (engine area, cockpit area, wing body) depending on the application given to those parts relative to most of the body.
