Why white is the best colour?

White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity and virginity.

People also associate the colour white with safety and cleanliness. Alternatively, black has a negative connotation and white has a positive connotation.

The psychological properties of colours – as explained by Color Affects outlines that;

White is purity and, like black, uncompromising; it is clean, hygienic, and sterile. The concept of sterility can also be negative. Visually, white gives a heightened perception of space. The negative effect of white on warm colours is to make them look and feel garish.”


Is White a true colour?

As explained by Britannica.com; “If colour is solely the way physics describes it, the visible spectrum of light waves, then black and white are outcasts and don’t count as true, physical colours.

Colours like white and pink are not present in the spectrum because they are the result of our eyes’ mixing wavelengths of light.”

Or more simply,” In art, white is the absence of all colour and black is the presence of all colour. To artists, black is considered a colour, but white is generally not.

In light, the opposite holds true. Black is the absence of colour, and white is the presence of all colours. To scientists, white is a bunch of colours, and black is not.
