White is a color (more accurately, it contains all the colors of the visible spectrum and is sometimes
described as an achromatic color—black is the absence of color) that has high brightness but zero hue.
The impression of white light can be created by mixing (via a process called "additive mixing") appropriate
intensities of the primary color spectrum: red, green and blue, but it must be noted that the illumination
provided by this technique has significant differences from that produced by incandescence. In painting,
white can be created by reflecting ambient light from a white pigment,

although the ambient light must be white light, or else the white pigment
will appear the color of the light. White when mixed with black produces
gray. To art students, the use of white can present particular problems,
and there is at least one training course specializing in the use of white in
art.
White light
Until Newton's work became accepted, most scientists believed that white
was the fundamental color of light; and that other colors were formed
only by adding something to light. Newton demonstrated this was not
true by passing white light through a prism, then directing the individual
colored beams through another prism. If the colors were added by the
prism, the second prism should have added further colors to the single-
colored beam. Since the single-colored beam remained a single color,
Newton concluded that the prism merely separated the colors already
present in the light. White light is the effect of combining the visible
colors of light in equal proportions.
In the science of lighting, there is a continuum of colors of light that can
be called "white". One set of colors that deserve this description are the
colors emitted, via the process called incandescence, by a black body at
various relatively-high temperatures. For example, the color of a black
body at a temperature of 2848 kelvins matches that produced by
domestic incandescent light bulbs. It is said that "the color temperature
of such a light bulb is 2848 K". The white light used in theatre illumination
has a color temperature of about 3200 K. Daylight has a nominal color
temperature of 5400 K (called equal energy white), but can vary from a
cool red up to a bluish 25,000 K. Not all black body radiation can be
considered white light: the background radiation of the universe, to name
an extreme example, is only a few kelvins and is quite invisible.
Standard whites
Standard whites are often defined with reference to the International
Commission on Illumination's (CIE's) chromaticity diagram. These are the
D series of standard illuminants. Illuminant D65, originally corresponding
to a color temperature of 6,500 K, is taken to represent standard
daylight.
Computers
Computer displays often have a color temperature control, allowing the
user to select the color temperature (usually from a small set of fixed
values) of the light emitted when the computer produces the electrical
signal corresponding to "white". The RGB coordinates of white are 255
255 255.
Usage, symbolism, colloquial expressions
In general, since white is opposite of black, it is often used with positive
connotation in the Western world. Many negative expressions with
"black" have an equivalent positive expression with "white". For example,
white hat describes a person who is ethically opposed to the abuse of
computer systems, in contrast with black hat.
White has also many other meanings:
•        White is commonly the colour of snow and ice, though these often
have a blue tint, even when not contaminated with other things that may
change their color.
•        The term white is often used in the West to denote the race of so-
called Caucasian people, i.e. people of European descent with light skin
color, whose skin color actually ranges from pink to pale brown. For more
details, see Whites.
•        White noise, in acoustics, is a sibilant sound that is often a
nuisance, although it can also be deliberately created for test purposes.
•        Whitewash, figuratively, means an attempt to obscure the truth by
issuing a blanket of lies. See propaganda. Also, it refers to the action of
burying or shoving someone's face into the snow, as a form of bullying,
or harassment(generally).
•        Whiteout is a weather condition in which visibility is reduced and
surface definition lost in snowy environments.
•        In Chinese and Indian tradition, white is the color of mourning,
death, and ghosts. In India white also stands for Peace and Purity
•        In ancient China, white was the symbol of West and Metal, one of
the main five colors.
•        In English heraldry, white or silver (color) signified brightness,
purity, virtue, and innocence. (The American Girls Handy Book, p. 369)
•        White is the traditional color of bridal dress in both western
(European) and Japanese weddings. In Western weddings, a white dress
is thought to be symbolic of purity (the bride has not engaged in pre-
marital sex). This is also said to be the symbolism of the veil. A white
dress may simply indicate the bride's joy.
•        White is often associated with Conservatism (as opposed to
Communism), particularly in the years following World War I, with civil
wars fought between "Reds" and "Whites", for instance the Civil War in
Russia and the Civil War in Finland.
•        A white flag is an international sign of either surrender, or truce,
that is, it is a sign of peaceful intent, typically at time of war.
•        A white paper can be an authoritative report on a major issue, as
by a team of experts; a government report outlining policy; or a short
treatise whose purpose is to educate (contrast position paper) industry
customers. It is called white paper because it was originally bound in
white.
•        The white ribbon is worn by movements denouncing violence
against women and against homosexual youth. It is also worn by some
feminists and was a symbol for peace in Quebec, in the beginning of
2003, as part of the popular opposition to war on Iraq.
•        To "show the white feather" is to display cowardice. In
cockfighting, a white feather in the tail is considered a mark of inferior
breeding. In Victorian England a purported coward would be presented
with a white feather.
•        White is also one of the two opponents in many board games of
abstract strategy, such as go, chess, and checkers.
•        In both the French and Russian Revolutions, white symbolized
royalism. Arthur Charles Fox-Davies has argued that white can be
considered a tincture in heraldry separate from its use to represent
argent, and in fact the labels borne on the arms, crests and supporters
of members of the British Royal Family other than the reigning sovereign
are invariably shown as white. The color is also used extensively by the
Roman Catholic Pope.
•        White could be associated with horror. The famous chapter 42
("The Whiteness of The Whale") of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick
speculates about it.
•        White has also become a prominent color depicting technology and
the future in the 21st Century, most likely resulting from the heavy
influence and increasingly widespread appeal of Apple Computer's
products such as the Macintosh and the iPod.
•        Butterflies of subfamily Pierinae of family Pieridae are commonly
referred to as Whites, and the term forms part of many of the butterflies
of this group, for example, Bath White.
•        White clothing tends to become translucent when wet.
