Literary analysis:
In the literary examples provided, "ghost white" is used as a vivid descriptor that evokes a sense of ethereal or spectral appearance. In one instance, the term appears in the phrase "ghost white-handed," which suggests a haunting, almost supernatural pallor contrasted by the harsh glare of electric light [1]. The use of this color metaphorically underscores a transformation or revelation of an otherworldly aspect within the human form when exposed to human scrutiny [2].
  1. "It is not enough to catch a ghost white-handed and to hale him into [20] the full glare of the electric light.
    — from Short Story Writing A Practical Treatise on the Art of The Short Story by Charles Raymond Barrett
  2. It is not enough to catch a ghost white-handed and to hale him into the full glare of the electric light.
    — from Lippincott's Magazine, October 1885 by Various
