Red led requires less voltage than blue and green. In low brightness, blue and green reach their threshold in their lowest voltage which accidentally shuts them but not the red one

Actually accurate white in real life is different than the accurate white in displays. For displays the accurate white is D65 white in sRGB colorspace which may some times look yellowish in human eyes.
