Just to make sure I'm getting this right....

"Azul ha sido substituido por blanco."

The blue has been replaced with white. the room is white. Or simply say the item in question was blue but was painted white. So it is now white.

Blue has been substituted by white.

Dear Cinnamon, it's exactly the opposite, blue has been replaced with white. Good luck.
