Dusty Miller at the Lincoln Park Conservatory

Even though there still is no snow outside here in Chicago, the color for this month is going to be white, perhaps because at this point I am really craving white! Snow, snow, snow!

For the uninitiated, the idea is to come up with ways to evoke white without mentioning the color itself since one of the challenges of writing effective descriptions is getting the color just right. Each month on this blog we work on one color, so far we’ve done, gray, brown, orange, red, green, pink, blue, and yellow.

Here’s my little start for white, and I am curious to see what you will contribute:

baby’s breath
bridal veil
cream
eggshell
milk
salt
snow
sugar
