Literary notes about ethereal white (AI summary)
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].
