Color of phlegm

My husband is not feeling well and has cough that is producing white and yellow phlegm.  I have never seen this before and am concerned what may be causing this white color.

Has anyone ever heard of this? And if so do you know why?

Thank you so much for any responses.

I had colored phlegm. Mine was green, yellow. I never had white, but I never really looked. I was put on an anti biotic to clean up the phlegm, then a puffer(steroids) to clear up the congestion and cough.If this does not work they may suggest a CT of the Lungs to see where the problem really is. I'm not a doctor, but I do think the anti biotics and steroids may clear it up. Best of luck. I'll  say a prayer.
