I learned the word 白夜 yesterday and was pretty excited to discover a reading of 白 that I was unfamiliar with. Looking into it, I see びゃくcan be used in alternative readings of words like 白衣 (びゃくい) and 黒白 (こくびゃく). When might you use this reading? What sort of context would call for it, or what connotation would it carry?
