French term or phrase: Blanc
In a schematic diagram for an electrical circuit.
Apologies if this is a really simple question but I have a deadline to meet.

Is the translation "white" or "blank" or is it something else entirely ?

There are no other colours on the diagram.

white
Explanation:
If this is the only colour mentioned, and if it is clearly associated graphically with a conductor, then it is almost certainly describing the wire colour — possibly a common conductor, i.e. the only one that is always the same colour throughout.

Apart from translating the word blanc as white or blank, I could only think of this, as I do not the context in which this word has been used.
