White

N5 · 5 stroke · 22 kanji

A sun just cresting the horizon — pale bleached light, the white of dawn.

Just before full sunrise, the sky turns brilliant white — not yellow, not orange, but pure bleached light. A single drop of light (丶) appears above the sun shape (日). That pale, clean, empty colour is 白. White. Clear. Pure. Blank.
