    If you take the Hex-Code for pure white (FFFFFF) and add the D in the back ((FFFFFD), it will change from White to a slightly yellow tint, it’ll go more yellow with every D you add. So… the queen had a point.

      If only it were about that and not about misogynistic views relating to women’s virginity.

      Yeah, because that’s what the queen was referring to when she made that off handed, old misogynistic, probably also racist undertoned remark.

      Many people see a violet/blue shade as more white. There are some chemicals that reflect ultraviolet light for this effect.

      The point is, it looks cheap. Maybe that’s what she meant. It’s the same with chalk white teeth. They are also weird. There is a natural white like “angel white” that is often used. It’s more yellowish and not that reflective.

        Seriously? Are you really trying to find an acceptable reason for such a statement? Do you really think she looks cheap?

          You know posting a harmless remark by someone which in my opinion is not worth to be published is the core of the business of the yellow press.

          We are talking about taste here. And some people have opinions. I just tried to reflect about this opinion.

          Otherwise I don’t really care how the bride looks like.
