White is often perceived as the most virtuous of colors. It’s uncontaminated, clean and pristine. In its truest form, white is devoid of color – that’s what makes it “pure”!

This disparity also leads to difference in their application – some may enjoy reading under a cool white light while others would prefer warm white for their night lamps.
