I want to find the absolute white, a colour of the pure. A quick Internet search led me to shades of white: ghost white, super white, brilliant white...

'What is the true white?' I asked the Internet

#ffffff

However, upon reflection, I realised that white is not an objective reality, but rather a subjective perception. Therefore, instead of searching for a concrete definition of white, I sought to explore how to experience its essence. As designer Kenya Hara suggests, we must "search for a way to feel the whiteness."

Inspired by this concept, I created Shades of White, an archival website that catalogs different hues of white through a collection of codes.
