I cant seem to stop pouring money into this build so I got some new wheels! Gonna be welding brake mounts on the rear so im looking for front fork options with disk brake mounts, preferably white forks.

Looks like you already have a big ass 26″ disk on the front.
Not worth it IMO. Upgrading to V-brakes will give you improved stopping power as opposed to cantis. I think they also give you better clearance for larger tyres.
People will say what they say, from my experience most come black or raw. You’d have to paint em yourself.
Don’t do it
I don’t think you’ll get a white that matches. You’d be better off trying to match the pink and painting them yourself. The distance between the pinks means slight differences likely won’t be notices. And a pink for would look great.
It will change how the bike rides. If you do you need the lowest travel you can get. Like 80mm
I had a Manitou II on mine back in the day.
Rim brakes r better anways, I’d sell the wheels and get some fancy handlebars personally …
don’t do it
Get a Stridsland Barnacle or Barnacle Lite and powder coat it.
You’ve got a 1” threaded steerer, that’s your primary challenge here, not the color.
Your options are a $80ish AliExpress fork in black (1” threaded so you’ll need a new headset to match) or get a custom built disc fork for $300+ (not including paint).
Who’s welding the rear disc tab? (And do you realize it’ll annihilate the paint around it on the chainstay?)
That bike is absolutely beautiful, don’t touch it.
