How it's used
Evokes a sense of visual overwhelmingness where the horizon or boundaries are obscured by a single color. It is almost exclusively used to describe snow, thick fog, or mist that blankets an entire landscape. The reduplicated structure adds a poetic or descriptive emphasis that suggests the whiteness is not just a color but an immersive environment.
Examples
After the heavy snow, everything outside is a vast expanse of white.
The fog is so thick, it just looks like a vast white blur when you look out.
