Why was Kirby originally white?

Kirby was depicted as white on early North American packaging for Kirby's Dream Land because Nintendo of America didn't know his official color, so they based it on his grayscale appearance on the monochrome Game Boy screen, even though creator Masahiro Sakurai intended him to be pink. This led to white Kirby art on the US box, while Japanese art showed pink, with the color confusion resolved by the next game, Kirby's Adventure, solidifying pink as his true color.
