There's this painting called 'Onement VI' and it's basically blue, you know the color blue, and that's the whole painting except for a part in the middle that's white. So the painting is blue with a white line, and white isn't even a real color it's like a non-color, but it's not called 'white line on a blue background' instead it's called 'Onement VI'. I guess the artist Barnett Newman must have considered to name it 'white line on blue background' but he decided for 'Onement VI' for some reason.
In 2013, the painting was sold for $43.8 million.
