arctic_white colors

Literary analysis:

In literature, "arctic white" is employed to evoke a striking visual emblem that draws readers into a world of stark, icy splendor. Authors use the hue to emphasize an animal’s noble or almost otherworldly appearance, as seen in descriptions of bears whose snow-like coats amplify their rugged connection to frozen landscapes [1][2]. Similarly, the comparison involving the "arctic white fox" leverages this cool, pristine color to set it apart from its less dazzling counterparts, suggesting not just a difference in appearance but also an elevated symbolic value in the natural world [3].
