Just so you know, all intense emotions are linked with red in Magic terms. Red is by default the color of emotions and passion - hope, desire, unwavering determination, pursuit of victory in battle, willingness to fight anyone who'd level a challenge at you.
Excalibur, ironically enough, is red to the core in that sense, because the color of strong passions and emotions is pretty much red. And yes, that includes hopes and dreams. And what would be more red than the combined hopes and dreams of all humanity?
It's more a matter of intensity, to be fair. There are some emotions (greed and ambition, determination, love, arrogance, among others) that also represent other colors, but when those emotions become especially intense, then they become red.
For instance greed generally represents black (greed and ambition, desire for power and wealth), but THE quintessential representation of greed, the dragon, is almost always red. There's a good reason for that - it's because of the intensity. Similarly, there's a world of difference between the desire of one person and the desire of everyone in a race.
White is more accurately the color of soothing of wounds, mending of broken bodies and souls (Resurrection, remember?), relentless pursuit of justice, belief in divine will and deliverance of punishment, divine or otherwise, on the wicked... but it's not necessarily a purely good thing. White is also the color of Knight Templar types and people whose idea of justice is so absolute it veers into Mercykiller territory. In fact, Vhailor from Planescape Torment would be pure white. He's inflexible justice, with no compromise - the purest manifestation of white.
Avalon, on the other hand, is white, all right. It's basically the Otherworldly Journey spell, designed to remove the user from harm's way and then return them to the world.
Saber herself shows signs of being red. She states many times that she cannot refuse a challenge (and the inability to back away from a fight is a predominantly red trait), is extremely proud to the point of risking spilling into arrogance at times, and can be hot-tempered. She's closer to a red knight than a purely white one.
I'd say she's Boros (ie, red/white), at the very least. In fact, she reminds me of Razia, the Boros guildmaster.
