Adjective as an object?

Dogs are mammals.

Eggs are white.

These two sentences seem to have the same structure, except that 'mammals' is an noun and 'white' is an adjective. In the second example, the word 'white' looks peculiarly like the object of the sentence.

Can anybody tell me what's going on here?
