While Saruman is considered more of a scholar. I believe it is even alluded to in the books that when Saruman took up residence in Orthanc it solidified him in the eyes of others as having great wisdom. We also only see Saruman after his corruption - Aragorn and Gandalf both come to his defense when discussing his skill and wisdom prior to his fall. | |

Notable that according to UT Saruman was already wearing white when he arrived in Middle-earth (although he had black hair back then): "The first to come was one of noble mien and bearing, with raven hair, and a fair voice, and he was clad in white". | |
