White and shadows

"The whiteness of white is never just white; it is almost always transformed by light and that which is changing; the sky, the clouds, the sun and the moon. White conventionally has always been seen as a symbol of perfection, of purity and clarity. If we ask why this is the case, we realize that where other colors have relative values dependent upon their context, white retains its absoluteness. At the same time, it may function as a color itself. It is against a white surface that one best appreciates the play of light and shadow, solids and voids." -Richard Meier, architect

I was inspired by this quote from Richard Meier that I read in the January issue of Town and Country to put all my 'whites' together in a set. Take a look at the whole set here.
