What are your surprising dimensions in white…

At first glance, white can appear flat and overly simplistic, but the colour has surprising dimensions. In fact, white is the richest colour there is, as it is produced by combining all the colours of the visible spectrum. While it initially appears cold and distancing, white stands in opposition to darkness and represents warmth and light. For this reason, it is the colour of perfection, associated with purity, tranquility and innocence.

White is chic. White is elegant. White is classic.

Interior designers love white in homes as it brightens up a room and creates the illusion of space. Crisp white linens for bedding are a staple in the summer time as vases of white orchids decorate the mantel.

White in fashion is minimal yet tasteful. There are surprising dimensions in white especially in textured blouses and feminine summer dresses.

And most of all, the use of white in beauty is simultaneously subtle and attention grabbing. Chubby white crayons highlight brows, while white nail polishes make for elegant nudes. Here are some products from Clinique that capture the essence of the colour white:
