What roll mode is displayed on the FMA before takeoff if LNAV is armed on the ground?

On the Flight Mode Annunciator, armed lateral modes are shown in white. When LNAV is armed on the ground, the roll mode indication appears as LNAV in white to signal that the lateral guidance is prepared but not actively controlling the roll yet. Since the aircraft isn’t in flight and the autopilot isn’t engaged, there’s no active roll mode, which would normally be shown in a different color. The white LNAV indication confirms the system is ready to engage if you commanded the autopilot to roll.
