Guess: a koan is white if it alternates vowels and consonants, has even length, and all the vowels are the same.

Simon

Counterexample: BC is white, but it doesn't alternate vowels with consonants.

I think the bolding (to mark newly added koans) is hardly visible. I'll rewrite the koan formatter to append prepend asterisks * to new koans.

Guess: A koan is white if and only if some letter appears exactly (length/2) times.

Simon

That is correct, you win! No alternation of letters is necessary.
