I thought that was the real reason! ;)
The Lucasfilm archive shots of the model show it as white with airbrushed
"weathering" of some black paint to give it that "used" effect GL was going
for in his universe. Lego was using reference shots from the Lucasfilm
archives, most of which were probably taken in the archives themselves, not
as stills from the movie. And since symbolism is the big thing in SW,
Ambassador Leia's ship, on a mission of peace, was painted white for the
same reason she wore a white dress. She's a good guy. All of the good
guy's ships are predominantly white. You are right, the lego version looks
too "bright" as a model, but stick it in a dark room with poor lighting and
the shadows will kick in and it'll look more gray, just like how the model
Lucasfilm shot in the dark void of "space" looked more gray. And as they
say, all cats are gray in the dark, no?
