What makes white such an outstanding colour to wear?

What is it about the colour White?

Why is it that the colour white makes a immediate impression on our mind or subconscious more than  any other colour, is it the correlation regarding people,  how they dress, or animals  we have owned or loved ,all of us has an  attraction to white.

 

  1. 1 Animals may be it’s the Polar Bear the epitome of the Arctic and the vast expanse of White Snow this amazing bear that roams the whiteness in all its glory, king of the Arctic, or it could be the snowy owl, white bits on the Panda without white no Panda.
     
  2. Desert Orchid was the most famous National Hunt racehorse ever, in his career he won over 34 races, including in front of 58,000 people the Blue Riband of jump racing the Cheltenham Gold Cup, and four King George  , which are traditionally held on Boxing Day at Kempton Park. He also amassed over £650.000 in prize money, and when he retired he raised thousands of pounds for charity. So other than his undoubted talent as an equine athlete why was he so popular? Simply he was a horse as white as the driven snow.
  3. White again Columbo the shuffling cigar smoking detective in the TV series that carry’s his name, how do we see him inquisitive, awkward, persistant or in a old scruffy white suit or desheveld macintosh, I think it’s the suit and mackintosh.
  4. Advertisements recent ones that spring to mind George Clooney advertising Omega watches, and the great ad for Stella Artois when the guy gets involved with the girl in the car, him in the van the chickens, he gets the girl loses the girl, but he ends up with the car and a glass of Stella, looking a million dollars in a White Suit classic.
  5. Drink have you ever thought what might attract us to the black stuff is it the white top, is it the bubbles in a glass of champange, whatever it is its white
  6. Thinking about whiteness in food, and drink, milk, white bread, white rice, potatoes, vanilla ice cream, and white chocolate – all have something in common white.
  7. Paint what is the attraction with white I would hazard a guess that over 90% of all households in the world, have a white wall, doors, white picket fence, white carpets, there will be white somewhere.
  8. Things we handle every day newspapers, copy paper, toilet paper, paper cups, tea cups, egg cups, and the ultimate for some White wine, and for Golf fanatics white balls.
                                                                                                           
  9. White in religion, white in wedding dresses, white in chefs outfits, white in cricket, white at Wimbeldon, white in Judo Suits, white teeth, bed sheets, crisp white shirts, and wonderful white suits at sporting and social occasions.
  10. White if we think about it surrounds us all in our daily lives, maybe more than any other colour, it permeates all aspects of night and day, is it because it is neutral, calming, healing, thought provoking or just a colour that needs no explanation?
