From reading " Designing Design " by Kenya Hara ,

" WHITE is not white.

The receptivity that senses white is what gives birth to whiteness. So we cannot look for white.

We need to search instead for a way of feeling that will sense white.

Depending on this search, for the receptivity that senses white, we will be able to aim our consciousness towards a white that is a little whiter than the average white. "

" Colour is not something that exists independently in nature, but is a property exquisitely outlined in words that portrayed the vicissitude of subtle changes of light. "

" White exists on the periphery of life. First, milk is white. [...] The whiteness of breast milk is a shared trait among human beings and other mammals. [...] It is fascinating that the food of life, that which drips from the nipple, is white.

Many eggs are also white. [...] Within this white dwells a real life, and when it comes into the world, breaking the shell of the egg, the membrane between that world and this, it is no longer white, but the colour of a living creature. "

The writing's "aftertaste" is somewhat dry.

but as design perception, these lines are inspirational - to me.
