Coco Chanel once said, “The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you!”
While Holi is a festival of colours and traditionally, you would see people wearing white to celebrate the occasion. The colour White as a canvas gives room to an array of creative and colourful ideas. As a symbol of peace, the colour white embraces each colour. Thus, giving the festival a perfect canvas to celebrate creativity at its best.
