White neutralises all colours and seems to be neutral itself, therefore it is considered as a symbol for the innocence and - in some cultures - for death, for the door to salvation.
Since eternal times white is the colour of the Gods and from the antiquity it was the dominating colour for the clothing of the priests. For many people white means the perfect, the ideal, the good.
But white is not white: alabaster-white, blossom-white, creme-white, chalk-white, opal-white, snow-white, ultra-white, wool-white.
