La couleur blanche
... by analogy with Spielberg's movie "The colour purple"/"La couleur pourpre".
Otherwise, why not simply "Le blanc"?
N.B. It would definitely help to know what the story is about...
"La couleur blanche chez Paul Auster. "Nous sommes alors repartis et
nous nous sommes mis à marcher dans la neige."
"Plus que cette possible association du nom de “ Blanchard ” à la couleur blanche, on observe la présence distincte d’une rose rouge dans ce bouquet "

: oui, pour l'analogie avec La couleur pourpre, je pense que c'est ce que le journaliste avait en tête (quelle que soit l'histoire)...

Die Farbe Weiß
was sonst? Es gab auch einmal einen Film mit dem Titel "Die Farbe Lila", wenn ich mich richtig erinnere...

blanche
I think maybe in French "blanche" alone will be more forceful, more thrilling
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 13 mins (2004-05-01 21:20:08 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
more thrilling because it leads to many different meanings :
blanche, like the name Blanche,
blanche as in \"la page blanche\"
blanches as my \"nuits blanches\"
so the reader doesn\'t know but wonders what the novel is about

Blanc comme neige
It might not work at all... we do need more context here !!!
If it's ironic : Blanc de chez blanc...
Blanc de blanc -si ça parle de vin?
context, please?
