Well, define "white". there are a million "whites" out there. Plus the
flash puts out fairly cold white light anyway.

The TTL system was intended I think for on camera flash only. Plus, the
camera cannot control each flash individually, so the light from the
one that fires straight on the front of the subject will control the
other flashes. Forget TTL for studio lighting. You need a flash meter
to determine light ratios, and you should get one that has a flash sync
socket and switch on it for convenience. It would be even better to get
a studio flash outfit that has modelling lights so that you can
actually see where the shadows and highlights are located on the
subject.
Be seeing you.
