The anthem doesn't seem to mention the white at all. Whatever flag is currently valid, it appears at the time the anthem was written the flag was a bicolour.

Smith reported green over white. I posted diagonally upper hoist to lower fly, yellow and green. Flagmaster 60 reported the same but lower hoist to upper fly, green at hoist and yellow at fly. Prof. Restrepo said that the flag was changed to horizontal W-V-Y but that was never confirmed.
