It's just color. Learn to like the color and have a long and happy sailing career with your boat.

Here's the problem with making a big deal about it, in addition to the cost, time and hassle. I represent manufacturers and sometimes retailers. They make mistakes and sometimes get into situations like this, which I sometimes have to get them out of. There is a difference between sending someone the wrong item and sending them the right item but the wrong color. One is a breach of contract; the other might be just poor customer service.

If the value between white and silver is the same, and it's a custom unit, the doctrine of economic waste might protect the seller, so that your measure of damages is the difference between the value of the goods as ordered and the value of the goods as received. If there is no difference, your measure of damages is either nothing, or a nominal amount that compensates you for having to accept the wrong color.

In either case, from a personal point of view, it would be a shame to waste a perfectly good sail because it was the wrong color, just to make an identical one in the right color. Keep the sail and tell the story every time someone asks you how you got the only silver sails in the marina. Put the good karma into the bank.
