Venom has white on his hands, often seen as patches or claws, because it's a design element carried over from when Spider-Man wore the symbiote, symbolizing his web-shooting points, and also visually highlights his connection to Spider-Man as a dark reflection, though in modern comics, it can also represent Knull's influence or simply a design choice for different symbiotes.
