Why White?

January 14th, 2013

The many colors of white.

What color are my white walls? It depends on the time of day. With white, the early morning light glows orange, cool evening light is a quiet blue, only grey winter skies suffuse the room with pure white. A warm color lit by cool northern light would look muddy and insubstantial; the same with a cool color in early morning or late afternoon sunlight. The advantage of white is its versatility — use it to appreciate the sunlight’s transforming potential or the change of season.
