On Republic Day, the preferred colours to don for the festivities are the saffron and green of the Indian tricolour, a certain hue dominates our preferences and results in an exceptionally stylish look. Oh yes, we are rambling on about the eternal and ethereal WHITE! Is there any other colour more crisp and impactful than white? We highly doubt it! White is usually associated with purity, peace, innocence and light, and is often considered as the colour of perfection. Resonating positive vibes, this hue has assumed an undeniable tag of being a power colour.
