Can you confirm the colors of the original documents in indesign by using the eyedropper on them?
Do the banners and newsletters have a box / text box in the background, and does that box have a color?
Or is it literally just empty, no background object or image at all?

I’ve had jobs in the past where someone put very subtle boxes or images with like 1% yellow instead of pure white,
and on my monitor it was almost impossible to see but looked like plain white. I forget their reasoning…
basically they couldn’t or didn’t want to do 0% CMYK so they made objects with 1% yellow when they needed something white.

Anything covering the background that has a color, but the fill is transparent or almost transparent?

Is it possible the output files (PDFs?) are actually white but have an odd look on your monitor? Do they show a color
if you open them in photoshop or illustrator?
