Primarily, what color is a Samoyed dog?

Primarily, a Samoyed dog is white.

The Samoyed is famous for its thick, bright coat, which helped it stand out against the snowy environments of Siberia. The breed was developed among Samoyedic peoples for herding reindeer, hunting, guarding, and pulling sleds in the Arctic.

White is the dominant and most recognizable color, but breed standards also permit cream, biscuit, and white-and-biscuit coats. Some dogs have biscuit-colored shading around the ears or elsewhere on the body, so "white" describes the typical appearance rather than every individual Samoyed.

The coat is a dense double layer: a soft insulating undercoat and longer outer guard hairs. Samoyeds also have upturned mouth corners, often called the "Sammy smile." That facial structure helps reduce drooling, an advantage in freezing weather because it makes ice formation around the mouth less likely.
