Literary analysis:
In literature, "ethereal white" is often used to evoke a sense of otherworldly beauty and delicate luminosity. It appears in descriptions that range from architectural elements to natural landscapes. For instance, the phrase is employed to evoke a ghostly elegance when describing a monument clearly outlined against a soft, rose-colored sky [1]. In another instance, an "ethereal white plume" is noted, lending a radiant and almost supernatural quality to a character’s appearance [2]. Additionally, the color characterizes the nocturnal atmosphere, as moonlight and spring imbue a valley with an ethereal whiteness that enhances the scene's dreamlike quality [3].
  1. The ethereal white shape of the monument stood outlined against a soft background of rose-colored sky.
    — from Flute and Violin, and Other Kentucky Tales and Romances by James Lane Allen
  2. she answered, glowing at his praise, and nodding her bright head to indicate the ethereal white plume.
    — from The Secret Trails by Roberts, Charles G. D., Sir
  3. That night, when moonlight and springtime filled the valley with ethereal whiteness and sweetness, he and Betty sat out on the porch.
    — from Mary Ware's Promised Land by Annie F. (Annie Fellows) Johnston
