Dear Peck Wun,

Off-white refers to a colour that is white but has a tinge of grey. Or it can also be considered as white with very light shades of other pigments e.g. red, blue, green or yellow.

When one look at off-white colour, it is exactly white but slightly duller white.

Many of the new paints are white in colour but when we look it at an angle, it looks more like the e.g. pink. Here, very minimal pink is added to these colours.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
