american butter

this is a wierd question but I was watching an america cooking show and the butter looked super pale, like nearly white? Is that normal? The host didn't say if it was special butter or anything but it looked like she was using a lump of lard and now I'm really confused about what american butter looks like
was this like a one off butter colour?? Or is white butter normal?

According to The Kichn and Chowhound, European style butters are made with more butterfat and less water than American butters. There's also a difference in the production methods between them, which makes them have different flavors/textures.

Thank you for the answer! That makes a lot of sense, I couldn't think of what would be the difference. All I could imagine was colourings but that just didn't seem right!
