Designing with White

White is the essential color — the canvas on which every other color looks its best. It reads as clean, fresh, and modern, and it is the foundation of almost every design system, interior, and brand. Far from being a lack of color, white is a powerful tool that makes everything around it brighter and clearer.

White pairs with everything, but the best palettes use it with intention: with black for the timeless monochrome contrast, with deep colors (navy, forest green, burgundy) for crisp definition, and with warm neutrals (cream, beige, tan) for a soft, layered look. White also makes a single bold accent color feel perfectly focused.
