majestic and humbleness

I feel white gives a majestic look and its very pleasing too. I feel down to earth in white. It reflects wiseness.

White: Cleanliness

White to me is a colour of cleanliness. It gives space to your own thought, not forcing any specific mood over you, but it also means you have to face your inner insecurities and thoughts without the guidance of other colours. It's not so calm like the blues or greens, and it's not warm like the reds, nor does it have the intellectual approach of yellow; it waits for you to accept yourself, otherwise it strikes with horror.
—Guest Joni

White: Clean and pure

White reminds me of purity and cleanliness, almost like holiness. I love wearing white, it makes me feel really good about life.
—Guest Jean

White makes me feel so evil and gives me bad thoughts, but it also make me feel at ease.
