Seeds from white bluebells will only come true if pollinated by other white
flowers. This is best done by hand and cover the fruits after you have done
so. Ideally do this in an insect proof greenhouse. From where will you
obtain the white genuine bluebells to make a start?.
Have another look at English bluebells in dappled sunlight and you might
agree that the natural colour is the best. I have literally millions of
bluebells forming glades and think of the other colours as interesting but
not desirable in bulk.

Thanks, but there's only the one plant ATM.

As an aside, we were out walking on the cliffs in West Cornwall this
afternoon, and admiring a huge carpet of genuine English bluebells,
when I noticed one solitary very pale pink one among them.
