How to wear white
A white shirt goes with everything: jeans or black, beige or colored pants. An all-white look feels fresh in summer, with gold or camel leather accessories. White shoes go with almost anything. For winter, try a warmer off-white or ecru.
White in home decor
White walls make rooms look bigger and brighter. To keep it from feeling cold, choose a warm white and add wood, natural fibers and textured textiles. It works as a backdrop for any accent color. In kitchens and bathrooms, pair it with black or wood.
White in graphic and web design
White is the most common web background because it gives the best contrast with dark text. Use generous white space to let the design breathe and a single strong color for buttons and links.
What to avoid
Avoid mixing different whites by accident, like pure white with ivory, because one ends up looking dirty. White with very pale yellow also loses impact.
