Shades of white are colors that differ only slightly from pure white.
Variations of white include what are commonly termed off-white colors, which
may be considered part of a neutral color scheme.
In color theory, a shade is a pure color mixed with black (or having a lower
lightness). Strictly speaking, a "shade of white" would be a neutral gray. This
article is also about off-white colors that vary from pure white in hue, and in
chroma (also called saturation, or intensity).
Colors often considered "shades of white" may include, among others, cream,
eggshell, ivory, Navajo white, and vanilla. Even the lighting of a room,
however, can cause a pure white to be perceived as off-white.
