If you live in a place with four seasons or somewhere that can get extremely cold that it snows, then you are no stranger to the color white.  The first few snowfalls during wintertime are always enchanting, as tiny, white flakes fall out of nowhere and blanket a whole area with snow.  This is probably how the term “winter wonderland” was coined.  Of course, if you do not see anything else but snow, you will slowly begin to resent not being able to experience other colors.

White is a predominant color in nature.  Snow and ice are just the best representations of it.  The clouds on a clear day are also white.  Some flowers like roses, jasmine, chrysanthemums and daisies have their white varieties.  Animals such as the polar bears are white, which enables them to camouflage themselves because the place where they live has nothing but ice and snow, all white.  Ordinary cats and dogs may also be white and countless other animals have patches of white in their bodies.
