>>indeed ! Snow is no more blue than it is warm. White is not white. What
does the water guru tell the new photographer. Some things just need to be
your interpretation of it. There are some technical things, like when does
white or a highlight fail to show/hold detail? That is not so much personal
as device dependent; monitor representation and hard numbers along with
software and ink/paper. Go discover! 

Ever shot polar bears? It teaches you two things: the bears are a warm white, the snow a cool white. In black and white you can remove this dimension, but it color, it pokes you right in the eye.
