white

White is the lightest color and is achromatic (having no hue). It is the color of snow, chalk, and milk, and is the opposite of black. White objects fully reflect and scatter all the visible wavelengths of light. White on television and computer screens is created by a mixture of red, blue, and green light. The color white can be given with white pigments, especially titanium dioxide.

    I read a slight report that TREE TEA OIL was the best solution. I have tried straight bleach, after diluting it in prior tests. Did little or NOTHING. Citric acid is said to maybe help, but not REMEDY. I’m seeking something to halt growth for 60-120 days!
