Currently we have this:
How about changing it to something like this? This would keep each "characteristic" with its "cause": "lightest" with "completely" and "achromatic" with "equally", as explained in the section "White objects". Also this splits off the last part as a separate sentence for readability:

Okay let's open this up then. Which items in the lead of white need an inline citation? Cas Liber ( talk · contribs) 12:33, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
We have the assertion in the opening sentence that black is the opposite of white. I know that this is the common sense understanding, but in an encyclopaedia we need a little more precision. In neither wave theory, nor optics, nor the biology of human sight can a colour be described as the opposite of another. Would it not be better expressed as "Black is colloquially regarded as the opposite of white" ? Velella Velella Talk 19:20, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
An editor has recently edited all the galleries, with the unfortunate result of reducing the images in size so that they're too small to see without enlarging each picture, particularly on the screen of an I-pad or Mac Book. This makes the galleries, which are as important as the text in this article, practically useless, and also results in a large amount of empty space in each gallery. I hope that the editor, who had very good intentions, will reconsider this decision. Cordially, SiefkinDR ( talk) 07:03, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
I don't know any way to have a good article about a subject like a color without galleries of multiple images which you can see easily without clicking, so you can compare them. Right now there's too much wasted space. If the images are put to the side, they're soon bumping into the other sections. This looks now like an article from ancient Wikipedia, before they discovered good graphics layout. We can better than this. Cordinally, SiefkinDR ( talk) 17:27, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
An entry in List of colors: G–M contained a link to this page.
The entry is :
I don't see any evidence that this color is discussed in this article and plan to delete it from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors#New_approach_to_review_of_entries
If someone decides that this color should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 20:50, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
@ Pbsouthwood: Your edit "Achromatic colur which is fully refllective of visible light" makes little sense and contains typographical errors. White is not about reflection or reflectivity. It is about the perceived visual effect or sensation that results from a mixture of wavelengths that approximates that of natural sunlight. White light can be produced directly by a halogen lamp or a white LED or an electronic flash. Plantsurfer 20:04, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

I created a redirect to this page called Wite. I’ve realized this shouldnt be. Thank you, User:WikiJanitorPerson ☎️/🍌 21:52, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
diff I get why Take the Money and Run is somewhat relevant to this article, being blank white canvases, but I'm not sure it is relevant enough for mention in "See also". I don't have a pony in this race; here is a place for discussion, if you like. Just plain Bill ( talk) 23:11, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
