Infinite white and shades of grey and off white

Listening to "White" by Nordine, somewhat trivial but had idea for video. Show black screen, then white dot at middle, expands to nearly whole screen to show contrast with black. Then another white dot at middle, the real whitee white, expands to nearly cover previous white; new dot of real whitest white, expands; new dot whitest white, expands. Screen now outlined in black, covered in concentric squares or circles of what are now clearly greys. Music shifts, new whitest dot, now the whitest the video can show, pushes previous greys off screen, expands to full screen. But now dot appears in center, but we can see it, even though previous white was whitest possible, bc outer white that expanded has slightly, slightly dimmed off white; new central dot of perfect white expands, repeats infinitely, infinitely approaching white.

Poss involve infinite black and shades of grey.

Builds in thinking on how people think in black and white, and are mocked for it, called childish. But I-III John does it to good effect and with wisdom. And Introverted Feeling does it by reminding people of simple moral truths that can't be denied despite complicated nature of reality and applying morals. And zebras look black and white, but when seen from a great distance, seem grey; and from  very, very close, there is no clear line bw the white and black (and the hairs are prob brown and yellow). And shandy is all beer/lemonade drinks that are not 100% beer or 100% lemonade. Where Do You Stop? At infinity, in the infinite, in the way of the universe, in God.
