I can try. Even though you might have 100% gold pips your gear might give you a free regular starting pip. Other than that I’m not sure as I can’t see your stats.
I cant see a way to edit an update into the initial post so, anyway, day 2, yesterday, still getting random silver pips, starting to be a little frustrating.

long story short: If Power Pip chance < 100%, you can still get normal pips.
Only exceptions are wands and decks (high level only) Low level wands may give you a normal pip at the start. Some decks at the higher levels give you a normal pip at the start, added with a low level wand you'll be guaranteed 2 normal pips at the start.
To clarify, for about 20 levels I had above 100% power/gold pip chance, about 112% through gear etc.
Around level 58/60 last week gear stopped giving the chance to power/gold pip and instead offered critical and block boosts.
Only recently with very careful changes to my gear between 70-74 I was able to balance it to attain a massive increase to critical and retain exactly 100% chance to power/gold pip.
As I say, my chance to get power/gold pips was exactly 100% from my level/gear etc and I was getting mostly standard/silver. Very specifically in some of the Zafaria areas.
Since then I upgraded my gear slightly to triple my existing critical and extend power/gold pips to 101% chance and being now in Avalon the problem has disappeared.
But I still see it as a strange issue and want the developers to know in case it happens to others, whether it was one of the items of gear mislabelled or an issue with Zafaria specifically I cant say but I'm leaning towards it being area specific issue because I was fine before Zafaria at 100%.

Thanks for explaining.
I'm not sure what the reason was for your pip chance to go down in Zafaria only, but maybe KI will take a look.
for the longest time, i've had 100% or higher power pips and never once got a white pip. even now, the only white pip i get is the one my deck gives (so i start each battle with 5 pips, not 4).
not sure what level you are currently, but did you change your gear/pet/jewels recently?
also, since no one has mentioned it yet, i wonder if op is wearing gear with pip conversion stats. if that's the case, you'll get a random white pip every time a pip is 'conserved'.
other possibilities: empowerment aura grants you one white pip if you are hit with a spell rank 4 or above; if you're playing with other people, both empower and donate power give only white pips.
