No, a white n3DS wouldn’t have come in a box for a black one. If the listing shows the serial numbers on the box and the back, you’d see that they don’t match.
While not common, sellers will sometimes utilize old boxes so they can claim it’s ‘complete in box’. Of course, normally they at least get the color right.
If it’s for ‘CiB’ price, avoid it. It’s pretty sketchy behavior to reuse another box.

There’s a black one on the box, but there’s also a white one.
There should be a mark or indicator on the back to say which one is in the box

Generally no. The seller likely had both at some point but only still had the box for the black one.

What’s the context? Where did you buy this?
Does the serial number match the one on the box?
Each color has its own matching box
