Fengshui and Color White

The meaning of white signifies a symbol of clarity, innocence, cleanliness, spirituality, purity and hope. Some common properties of the color white include:

Innocence
Clarity
Cleanliness
Expansive / Open
Purity
Spirituality
Goodness / Hope
Humility
Infinity
Peaceful / Relaxing / Soothing
Detached (that’s why it is not very often people’s favorite color, life is colorful)
Sterile
 
In moderation, the color white is very peaceful and soothing. However, when used in excess it can seem sterile or artificial resulting in a feeling of detachment and low vitality.

The meaning of the color white as described in "The Herder Dictionary of Symbols: symbols from art, archaeology, literature and religion" is as follows:

"White is the color of light, purity, and perfection. Like its opposite, black, white has a special place among the colors of the spectrum (which combined yield white). It is closely associated with the absolute (both the beginning and the end, as well as their union) and consequently is used at marriages, initiations, and death rites. It is the color of mourning in Slavic lands and in Asia, for example, and occasionally at the French court.

White was the preferred color of specially selected sacrificial animals.

Priests often wear white garments to symbolize spirit and light, and the angels and the blessed in Christianity are often clothed in white for the same reason. Newly baptized Christians wear white clothing; at Christ’s transfiguration his garments became "white as snow"; the white ceremonial dress of brides, postulants and those making first communion signify innocence and virginity.

In contrast to the vital color red, white is also the color of ghosts and specters. Sometimes the color red is associated with man and white with woman."
