Look at string formats, in particular the mean. If the mean is near quantum range (65535 on Q16 IM), then it is near white.

convert -size 100x100 xc:white white.png
convert white.png -format "%[mean]" info:
65535
alternate result if near 1
val=`convert white.png -format "%[mean]" info:`
convert xc: -format "%[fx:$val/quantumrange]" info:
1
or
alternate convert to gray, scale to 1x1 pixels and get graylevel value of the one pixel
convert white.png -colorspace gray -scale 1x1! -format "%[fx:u]" info:
1
