What color is Clarisse associated with?

Clarisse is most associated with the color white and its various shades. When Montag first meets Clareese at the beginning of the novel, he describes her face as “milk-white”. He describes her movements with a “white stir of her face” when noticing that she is about to walk into a man. Even the dress she wears is white. Her introduction surprises him because of her contrasting color in the stark darkness of night. Clarisse, herself, is in a world of darkness trying to find the light. Bradbury’s use of color symbolism creates a world within the novel. In literature, the color white is associated with innocence and purity which is the opposite to the darkness created by the fires and soot. Montag later describes her face once as “fragile milk crystal with a soft and contrasting light of the candle.”
The fact that Clarisse is associated with white also leads to how she converses with Montag. She asks questions that Montag would never have thought of when thinking about his job as a fireman. These include questions on the origins of the firemen and what they represented in the past and if he ever read any of the books he burned. The conversation between Clarisse and Montag shows a difference in ideals yet to Montag she is a different light in a darkness that he is involved in.

Clarisse is associated most often with the color white. Her face is twice compared to milk: the first time Montag thinks of it as "milk-white," and the second time as like "milk crystal." Her dress is white, and her face is described as white as well as milky. Because of the way Bradbury uses color imagery, Clarisse seems lit up, glowing, soft, and translucent, especially as her whiteness is seen in contrast to the night when Montag first meets her.
She is also associated with the color violet: her eyes are likened to "two miraculous bits of violet amber."
These colors show Clarisse as she is perceived by Montag. She is a form of gentle light to him, likened to a glowing candle. She shines like a white light in a dark world.
