There are different and varying shades of white.

I knew that they drmaldonado wanted the answer to be True so I got it correct. But the correct answer is FALSE. White is white. Shades of white are "off white" which is NOT white. 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.

Anything that changes pure white creates a new shade or color. Commercialism not withstanding, the answer is,false.

In my color theory class, white is just that, WHITE. Shades are hues (colors) mixed with various degrees of black...and tones are hues (colors) mixed with various degrees of white. Shades of white would, therefore, be various degrees of GRAY.

The answer is false. White is the absence of all color, just as black is the presence of all color. Using the logic of the challenge, anything that is not 100% black, is a shade of white.

Interesting. Had the question posed asked “Pure White”, the answer would be false.

There is absolutely no pure white.

yay! I answered question I didn't already answer!

white is white .... not grey .... its just WHITE 😵‍💫

The paint store says there is.

White is the absence of color. There is only one white , off whites have color

The answer totally false and correct. Apart from white and black there are only 12 colors which you can also argue to be just 6 colors. 6 or 12 major colors, every other is a different shade of these colors. So like there are blood Red, wine red and pure red as different shade of red. There are also Pure orange, Burnt orange, Juicy orange, and fall/Autumn Orange as different shades of orange. These are just few shades of red and orange they are not all. So if it is not pure white it does not mean that it is not white until the white color feature does not make Up more than 55 to 60% of the hue. There are still colors like dull white, which is totally a shade of white very minute mixture of a particular color or combination of other colors in very Mirco quantities. Then there is snow white and cloud white which are totally pure whites with different exposure. There are also silvery white and yogurt white. There are many shades of white like the other colors. Just like there are charcoal black and pencil black. They their is galaxy black which is also different from night black. This is the reason, there are colors like rose Gold, peach, champagne gold, and other colors of similar hue between 50 to 60% of a parent color. Peach is a color as much as orange shade and yellow shade. It can be argued to be a shade of orange depends on the hue percentage of the particular peach which is technically not a pure color, so there is no pure peach. Gold is a shade of yellow but can be called something else depending on the closest next hue like rose which is more like pinky tint. The dominant name comes last. And so on.

I always learnt that white was pure white, any shade of white was actually a pale colour. I think the correct answer is false!

Usually we paint our house in bone-white, which is not white...is a derivation of white

White is the absent of color! The answer should be at least false.

Player, Strictly speaking, a “shade of white” would be a neutral grey. 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" include cream, eggshell, ivory, Navajo white, and vanilla.

There is only one shade of white. There are however many shades of off white. I agree with Bill Coe

Bill Coe, my thoughts exactly. As soon as you start adding "shades" it is no longer white. I believe that white is the combination of all colors and black is the lack of light . Therefore if it is "off white" it either lacks certain colors or has extra of color(s)

Good i aced it

No. White is the reflection of all colours of the spectrum whilst black is the absorption of all colours of the spectrum so in physics terms there is only one white

White is not a colour
