It's not just about color... The White Stripes were all about the "rule of three". In a documentary, Jack White said that 3 was the minimal amount of things that assembles something concrete. A table requires 3 legs, but would fall with only 2, and doesn't require 4. He followed this rule of minimalism with the idea that it would consistently challenge him, forcing him to work hard to stay creative and original. This is the very premise which birthed The White Stripes in the first place.

Three is also the smallest number for minorities and majorities to form. Also, I happy to be writing this response three years after you posted your comment :P

Jack has such a complex, intellectual, and simply swell mind

Even bigger than his commitment to color is his obsession with 3's. Would love to see a video on that! Jack is such an extremely nice individual. I had the pleasure of meeting him several times due to the fact the guy I dated at the time did the artistic carpentry work for Third Man Records.

David Reece my boyfriend did all the custom woodworking in Third Man Records when it was being built in the late 2000's. We were there with the construction crew often and Jack would walk through and talk to every single person. He'd take time to learn their names, see if they were comfortable, etc... and he always remembered my daughters name even tho he only met her once (he'd ask after her each time I was there). Incredibly humble, kind and thoughtful. I wasn't really a fan before that... :)

I am a fan of Jack white and I didn't know Jack's use of colors(was just aware of colors with different bands). May be because I was more into his outstanding guitar riffs.

Love Jack White. Please cover his instrumentation and musicality. He is so muchmore than the colors. Thank you for even having him in your mix to begin with. He's truly my favorite. Everything he does. Have a great day!!!

Nice vid. You could add his Third Man Records yellow/black/white palette to the mix.

Meg White is one of the most underrated drummers of all time

This channel is one of the best I have found about music on the internet. Excellent content! Keep rocking, dude!

The White Stripes are so freakin' cool. I love all the bands Jack has been into.

You could also mention the pure darkness and noir feeling The Dead Weather had with only black and white colors.

I think De Stijl had a really great influence on the early TWS stuff and colorboard. De Stijl is a Dutch artistic movement, which only uses 4 colours: black, white red and yellow (okay The White Stripes don't use yellow but you've got the idea :D). The Stijl also uses only straight lines that intersect each other at 90 degrees. I think that this thing not only has a great influence on colours but also on the band's minimalistic sound. They even got an album entitled De Stijl (it is a great album after all, one of my favorites). Great video anyway! :)

Yo dude i just discovered your channel and I'm impressed. I subbed after 1 minute of your Bonham video. I love how in depth you look into the music and how you think outside the box. I literally never noticed the importance of colour in Jack Whites discography and videos. Just for the future could you maybe talk about the impact of Linkin Park? Or their evolution as an artist? People may like that since the recent events. I'd love to hear what you have got to say and even find.

The colours used in his record company, the Third Man Records fitted the same scheme. A combination of yellow and black fills everything in the building.

Bro, i love this kind of videos. you have all of my support.

I just fell through a rabbit hole of your awesome videos. Keep up the good work man !

Awesome video man i just discovered this channel in my home page and i think i'm hooked! A nicely made video, deep analysis on the topic and also stellar editing! Subscribed & kudos to you my man. Btw my mind was blown by the fact that the mixture of color & music has such impact on my mood haha

I noticed in the comments section in a few videos how some people have wished you well and that your channel will blow up sooner rather than later. Hang in there! These videos are great and I am sure more people will be engaging with you through them . . looking forward to more great stuff from this channel! :)

Fantastic editing and graphics!

damn dude, second video i watch and i'm already in love for this channel! you guys are AWESOME!!!!

I'm a classic rock geezer and Jack White rocks. Saw him solo, with Meg and Raconteurs. Fave songs to play on guitar are Yorba and Army. Sometimes play Yorba electric and Army acoustic. Love Freedom at 21 but still learning that. Meg was cool drummer and hot, especially in that Icky Thump cover.

There is some serious editing in this video, pretty amazing

Absolutely 100% agree with your closing statement, jack white's influence on alt rock, roots rock, blues rock and garage rock alone are enough to warrant the title of icon. The first time i heard seven nation army changed my life, it was like seeing the beatles on ed sullivan show. my entire life officially began. Great video essay.

Nice videos man!

This is one of the first things that attracted me to Jack, both when he was with the Stripes and solo. This is also the same thing that unconsciously attracts people to entertainers like Marilyn Manson and film directors like Tarantino. You did a fantastic job of explaining the importance of visual imagery in music, great channel.

You earned my sub because I love the white stripe and jack white and I have noticed the color as well

Sweet lord, your videos are so well made.

His independent record label/shops (Third Man) also have a strong devotion to a color scheme, this time being yellow/black/white. He definitely has a love for primary colors.

very nice work. well done

Genius intersting video. Glad I subscribed

I'm in the same thought with you ... I'm thinking about it for so long .... i love this channel ...

That was a lot of fun, thank you

Very interesting video. In an interview he once said how giving himself boundaries helped him to be more creative, because if he had limitless options he would become overwhelmed and never get anything done. It's also a big part of the reason the white stripes were a 2 piece.

Holy shit man!!! Your videos are amazing (and Jack White is a fucking genius and an amazing multi-artist)! Love the channel! Exclamation points!!!

Great video thank you

As someone who has syinsthia and has been listening to Jack White my entire life, the music In my mind has rarely ever matched the set aesthetic. Bass tends to be very blue, normally Prussian or Navy so Seven Nation Army with the blue seemed to mesh with the music better, but that's just how my brain works.

Great video, great channel

At his place, Third Man Records here in Nashville, all the branding is yellow & black. Red & Blue are used here & there thematically, including his Blue Room for performances & events. Overall a wonderful use of the primary colors.

This is channel is supreme! So glad to have stumbled across it. Thanks, YT algorithm.

Good video, I have always wondered why Jack clung so much to color since The White Stripes, and now it represents more for me than it was before. greetings from México.

This is the first video I watched on your channel

This video has been in my recommended for so damn long

whada' great channel! watching from chicago!

This is branding very well executed.

Finally a channel of music appreciation on rock and roll. Very interesting stuff.

I'm in love with your channel

Jack whites my all time favorite artist and I now have a new reason to love him even more

Good narrators are tough to find but a worthy investment for a unique and interesting perspective. The guy reading doesn't lend itself to the meticulous nature of subject matter.

Nice video!

Type O Negative was another band to utilize color. Green and black in their case. Great video!

Really good. Reminds me to Type O Negative's use of color

For a while I only wore red, head to toe; even red socks. Eventually I had to stop because people would regularly bring up Jack White, and think I was copying him. You know you're good at marketing when you basically own a primary color.

this is amazing

I love it I love it. Do more Jack White stuff please.

Excellent and interesting videos, could you talk about Franz Ferdinand please? The band obviously 😁

Lot of people don't realise what a massive influence Simply Red were on the White Stripes. Jack once said he had only two heroes: Son House and Mick Hucknall.

I totally feel music with my ears. and what I feel. Colors don't sway my feeling.
