Answer 1

white is that pure colour which can absorb in any other colour without giving any of its own shade.it has no attitude..

Vacancy, emptiness, and absence. It symbolizes an open space where anything which fills that whiteness would bear to light all of its beauty and flaws.

White is the canvass from which all things ghastly and pristine may be painted upon. It is the absence of everything, leaving way for the purity of nothing.
