Counting Crows used this phrase in their track 'Around Here' to describe the

Owen McHugh,
Kandinsky and other
post modern painters often used this palette, at once both indicating their sensitivity for new expressions of
color theory and providing us with a slew of ridiculous and bland large scale canvases to fill today's
museums of
modern art. Such a
lack of color contrast in a piece forces heightened emphasis on the importance of other
compositional elements.
Also, white on white formal wear (white ties against white shirts) has become somewhat of a comedic badge for
mafioso wiseguys, as demonstrated in the hilarious
My Blue Heaven by
Steve Martin.
