1. its in shadows - not lit up like the other 'two' 2. Merchantman wasn't "white" 3. The refit E isn't really 'White' - the Original E - was painted white - but the Erefit - you can see the bear hull plating. 4. Starfleet ships range from grey - baby blue - to off white 5. It doesn't have to be a Starfleet ship 6. It could be a generic fed ship 7. It might not be from the Federation 8. It could be dirty from what ever cargo it has been 'hauling'? 9 I reckon the small nacelles and the saucer on top of the 'trapezoid' section are whitish - the actual cargo?? compartment is a grey colour.

Lets assume that is a ship. Even if it were built by an alien species that are members of the Federation, then their ship would be considered a Federation starship.

I see what you're talking about, but I still don't think it's a ship, and the most reasonable explanation for its being EXACTLY the same shade of blue as the wall is : It's part of the wall.

I could be wrong, but it looks like that is some sort of ship, and it's casting a shadow on the wall. If it were attached to the wall, the shadow would be up more.

Look at the front of the E's secondary hull. Go straight down. There's a thing that looks like a diving board sticking out under a hole in the wall. Under that, there's a thing that looks like a black shoebox. We're talking about the shoebox.
And the color doesn't mean anything. The Excelsior looks blue, too. The "shoebox" looks the same color as the wall because it's in the same shadow as the wall.
I'm not sure if they're nacelles or not, but there's definitely something attached to the upper edge of the ship, at the end closer to us. You can even see the shadow of the one closer to the wall.

Sometimes, I wonder about the resolution of people's monitors... and whether they are seeing what I am seeing, I've got a nice crisp image - but when I use the computers at University, they have horrible resolution and/or ??graphics cards?? and all of the crisp pictures look grainy and spotty.
