Hey, no worries. White pineapples are closer to the original species bromeliad than the heavily hybridized yellow ones, with the added benefit that they can be grown at extreme altitudes. I live in Quito and grow them on my balcony, and that's at nearly 3000 meters (about 10,000 feet). Yellow pineapples wouldn't survive it; they were specifically adapted to grow at or near sea level, and they're not cold hardy at all.
