There are different and varying shades of white.
Correct answer: True
Tami Sue Miles-Banda
I have to disagree with this one. The only true shade of white is white. A legitimately white surface reflects all light completely and is characterized by the utter absence of any hue. Anything that doesn't reflect all light of all hues is not truly white. The examples of shades of white listed in the explanation are actually shades of gray, not white. This is even stated in the explanation, creating a significant internal contradiction. With all due respect, the answer should be "False."

White is, by definition, achromatic ie without colour. To be off-white you have to add another colour thus can no longer be achromatic. White is only white: anything else is a very light shade of another colour.

It even says that strictly speaking shades of white are grey. Therefore the answer should be false!

White is when all the colours of the visible spectrum are reflected by the surface of an object. Anything other than white is not white, but very very light shades of other colours

my daughter taught me the colors I see may not be the color I think I see.

Boxxxie, I agree absolutely. It’s white or another colour. Cream is not white it’s cream by adding other colours

People are freaking out about the definition of "white". However, none of them have considered the definition of "shade" which in art terminology means to add black (also not a color) to something. Therefore, every pure gray you see is "shade of white" and NOT a color at all.

SilverSprite2697, i thought that in paints or dyes, black was the combination of all colors and white was no color; while in rays of light, black is no light/no color and white is all colors. am i wrong?

scientifically there is but one shade of white and its white. just because dulux sell apple white does not change this fact.

not only is "off-white" a lighter shade of a different color, "white" in itself is not a color, rather it's a lack there of. !!!

any shade of colors that looks similar to white is not white, just a very light shade of whatever color it is diluted with.

i'm guessing these get harder. true or false?

Off-white is NOT white. Hence the name "off"
SilverAlliance428
Off white is not technically white. It would become a very light shade of another colour!
JSECBX21💀💙
ITS FALSE, WHITE IS WHITE, OR ELSE ITS NOT WHITE ITS OFF WHITE, AND NO LONGER WHITE!!
ryanspillers78
This answer is false. White is white. shades of white are deluted with other colors.
