It's widely believed that the colour of truth is white, & lie is supposed to be black. But I believe the contrary. I also have a simple explanation for this. Suppose we have a white canvas & a black canvas. We put a small black mark on the white canvas & we paint a portion of the black canvas with white or any other colour. No matter how much paint we use but the black mark on the white canvas is still visible. Whereas, if we cover the painted portion of the colour on black canvas with black colour, the colour will hide. People say that truth can never be hidden. The black mark on the white canvas can't be hidden as well. But white or any other colour applied on the black canvas can be hidden. Therefore, the colour of truth is black, & it is utter 'white lies' that the colour of truth is white.
