Color Theory

Basic White is an achromatic near-white with almost no saturation. It functions as a neutral, giving other colors space, contrast and brightness without adding a strong hue of its own. Its hue is effectively neutral, its saturation of 0% keeps it completely gray-free in color bias, and its value of about 96% makes it feel bright, clean and open while remaining slightly softer than pure white.
