Is White a Colour? - Silverbloggers Chronicles

Is white a colour, I asked myself?
I believe it is. White is one of the colours we can pick when working with graphic designs, right?
Some people don't agree, arguing that white is the lack of colour!
I love white, and it's around me all the time. A pure colour, cool, and calming.
My kitchen is white, and when I move to my new home, that is going to be one of the deciding factors!

A pastel apricot is another colour I like - orangy pink and yellow! I also like blue and green, especially a mix of the two - aquamarine.

Hubby always got the colours green and blue wrong; a kind of colour-blindness, I believe. I soon learned it was no use asking him to choose something in those colours when he went shopping on his own.

Blue is supposed to be a good colour for the bedroom. I do have a blue bedroom. Except that the linen is white, and so are my towels. I work with white linen every time I help when there's a same-day booking.

My crockery is mostly white, food after all looks way more appetizing when on a white plate!

White clouds - and the blue sky, of course. Blue is another color I like! A lone Egyptian Goose surveys the scene, feeling safe from its high vantage point! Maybe it is calling its babies to come home because it's getting late <3

A favorite little garden patio set that was looking a bit worse for wear after sitting outdoors, even though it was under cover. It was showing some rust, and the paint was chipping off, so I took it for a powder coating and a paint job, and it looks brand-new!

I have many many things in my home and in the garden that show just how much I love the colour white; I even favour white tops and dresses, especially during the hot summer months.
Lastly, this is my favourite - Poe lying on his back, showing off his fluffy white belly. He really knows how to pose in the weirdest positions!

As you've gathered by now, white plays a big part in my life, and make no mistake, it is a beautiful colour indeed!

I love white for furniture. When I redecorated my room I went for white stuff. For clothes, not so much, I'm in my blue phase🙂

I also like white furniture, have white furniture in my bedroom with blue curtains. Funny how we go through phases with so many things!
Nice seeing you here @ladyrebecca 🤗

White! Synonymous with clean for me. I like my white sheets and white towels... I even like a plain white blouse sometimes.

Yeah, white. One of my favorite colors.

Like the goose :)

Nice to hear we're on the same page, @agmoore. Yes, it's a lovely color.
I could also have spoken of my two favourite white foods😉😊 - meringues and sago pudding, absolutely yum!

White is the most pure, bright and innocent color - you must be very innocent.

Oh boy, I was once very innocent😉 Perhaps still am in a way, as I tend to trust too easily. There are so many shades of white as well, beautiful!
Thank you for popping in @sanjeevm!

White is absolutely a colour! Don't let the pedants tell you otherwise! What a great choice - I'd definitely get a choc top icecream blob or a turmeric stain on white, even if I'm not near those two things - it IS very calming though isn't it? And the bonus is, it matches everything...

True, and white is like a chameleon when worn with different colours! Yep, the only downfall is those food messes, especially turmeric. Bleach works for most stains, but not turmeric. I've learnt to be ultra careful when wearing white tops.
I need that calming, my mind tends to run away with me most times!
I hope you're keeping well @riverflows 💙

White is cool and I think one of the best colours for crockery Lizzie. Nothing shows off our colourful cuisine as much as solid white plates!
Interestingly I was brought up that white was the presence of all colours and black was the one that had absence of all colours.
It's great to see the Silver Bloggers Chronicles up and running and so many people participating :)

I looooves white crockery, and white linen, and...and...

white was the presence of all colours, and black was the one that had absence of all colours.

Your Mom must have been the one to teach you that. I agree with that statement 100%!

It is lovely to read all the responses to the Chronicles😍

White is great, Poe steals the show with that white belly up position.

Bring in colours with white is what I had for many years. Currently slightly changed up using more bold palette, change is as good as a holiday.

!LUV have a wonderful weekend.

Nice to see you, Joan. I should have made Poe my cover photo!
My mom was forever painting walls and changing her colour scheme; I agree that change is as good as a holiday. I'm emptying my home of stuff I won't be using, and starting to pack stuff into boxes. Not found a home yet! I'll likely stay with my youngest brother and his wife till I find something that ticks all the boxes. Can't believe I've been here for 50 years!
Have a wonderful weekend Joan. It looks like it's going to be a chilly one!
