The QL series aren't radiator fans though... Anyway! Yes, white 360mm hybrids available in white:
Corsair H150i Elite Capellix
Lian Li Galahad AIO 360 RGB
Deepcool Castle 360EX White/ Captain 360EX White RGB/ Gamerstorm Captain 360X White: Something something about names...
Cooler Master ML360P Silver Edition RGB: This one's more of a silver color, so probable pass on this.
Asus ROG Strix LC 360 RGB White

Oh, there aren't that many white options to begin with...

wdym locked I5?

It's a card with a 65W TDP and it's a locked CPU so no overclocking to bump that up. The heat removal difficulty is quite limited, so spending $240 on a 360mm AIO isn't a practical use of money. Something like a $100 Enermax Aquafusion 240mm (it's white) won't do a worse job at cooling your CPU in any meaningful sense. Now, if you want to spend $100-$140 extra just for aesthetics, that's fine -- though that and selling your CPU used would likely get you a 8700K -- but you do need to know going into that decision that there's no real performance reason to do this.

Usually they are pretty easy to spot when people mention getting a cooler and immediately want to replace fans, usually for RGB rather than those shipped with the cooler/designed for the cooler.
Maybe they already have said fans? The thread title is, 'Need New 360mm'... so they already had a 360mm, it died on them, and they were going to reuse the fans.

I probably over-analyzed this...
