White ~ Blanc ~ Wit

 Vintage French linen

 A white visual stimulation

 

Human culture has many references to white, 

often related to purity and cleanness,

 White is a color

 the perception of which is evoked by light 

that stimulates all three types

 of color sensitive cone cells in the human eye 

in nearly equal amounts and with high brightness compared to the surroundings.

The high contrast between white and black 

is often used to represent opposite extremes.
