The Many Shades of Off White

Looking for off-white paint the other day, I discovered that no such thing exists. Instead there are shades like: “cream puff,” “pearl,” “angel food,” “gypsum,” “clam island,” “cape honey flower,” “china white,” “vanilla custard,” “lambswool white,” “crumb cookie,” “antique white,” “horseradish,” or “turban shell.”

All of which look off white to me.
