this is a quick description of "white space" as a graphic design element. . . yes white space. . . not negative space. . .white is a color, not an idea, negative is an idea, but white is a color. "can white space be green?" no, that's called green space, white is just lack of color, so as far as paint goes it's colorless paste, but on computers, white is a color, so "white space" is just the use of the color white in graphic design. enjoy.
