Light, medium and dark white

White itself cannot become lighter on a standard RGB display, but small additions of hue create warm and cool off-whites. Classic near-white examples include Snow #FFFAFA, Ivory #FFFFF0 and White Smoke #F5F5F5.

How to use white in design

White works with every hue and is used as background or negative space to separate stronger colors. On screen #FFFFFF is RGB white, while in conventional CMYK printing white comes from the paper rather than from ink, so an off-white background in a design becomes a very light ink tint on press.
