Pure white (#FFFFFF) backgrounds can cause glare during extended reading sessions. For reading-focused interfaces, use off-white like #FAFAFA or #F8F8F8 to reduce eye strain while maintaining a clean aesthetic.

White (#FFFFFF) reflects all visible light and represents cleanliness, purity, simplicity, and open space. It is the default background color for the vast majority of websites and apps, and combined with black text it delivers maximum readability. White space (negative space) is a key principle in design — it gives content room to breathe and improves visual hierarchy. White is essential in medical, clean, and minimalist design aesthetics.
