Not a color but all of them at once, crashing the party uninvited
means The lightest color, that of fresh snow or milk, produced by reflecting all wavelengths of visible light at once.
from From Old English 'hwit,' tracing back to a Proto-Germanic root that gave German 'weiss' and Dutch 'wit.' Linguists trace it further to a possible Proto-Indo-European root meaning 'bright' or 'to shine' — a cousin, perhaps, of words for the gleam of dawn rather than for snow or paper. So at its deepest, 'white' was less about a hue and more about light itself blazing out.
