To challenge the idea of white (color/pigment) as being inherently better. It's more about how societies can be trained to believe white is pure (think wedding dresses and such) and how it can create a perception that other colors are somehow "less than" or "tainted"

To use the dress. A white dress is for weddings or to show purity vs the red dress in "the scarlet letter"
