-----------------
How many balls are drawn?
Are the balls replaced before the next draw?
-------------------
If it's 3, without replacement, then:
the chance of green is 6/18
the chance of yellow is 5/17, and
the chance of white is 7/16
--> (1/3)*(5/17)*(7/16) = 35/816
--------------------
Other results are possible with different constraints.
