Yes and no. To a painter, yes. To others, no. A bride, more than likely, is the exception.
White has always been a symbol of purity. Painters and different artists use canvas, paper or screens that are offshoots of purity just by the fact of being white.
Many times I utilize the color white to dramatize a painting as a whole or maybe just sometimes in certain areas. Observe the artwork "Rocky Mountain Columbine" in the blue/green gallery.
I've accented parts of the top, middle and bottom of the painting with brush strokes of pure white to create a mood of vibrant outdoor life and sunshine. My favorite tool for doing these strokes is the fan brush.
I have made a study of interior design. Within this artistic medium pure white is seldom utilized. However, a painter finds white indispensable as an accent color or for deintensification of a primary hue.
White is a "colorful" and wonderful tool, essential to a composition. White creates drama in negative spaces, adds three-dimensionality and accents reflective surfaces.
