What would you say for something that is very very white?
To make it easier: Imagine a white wall, how many different hues of white can you use to describe it?
Thank you!

White isn't a color, but becomes so when color mixes with it like in cloth. White clothes come in two colors yellowish off white which some will call cream, ivory...and bluish white which is the bone white or starch white. In the past people used to wash their whites with a navy colored substance to make them "whiter", because otherwise they would look yellowish. Yellowish whites yellow more with age and eventually look kinda like an old newspaper.
