Okay, so lots of these seem to actually be whiter colors of other colors. How could they possibly be WHITE? I have no idea.
Here are the ones categorized as "off-white" colors:
Ghost White
White Smoke
Baby Powder
Snow
Ivory
Floral White
Seashell
Cornsilk
Old Lace
Cream
Beige
Linen
Antique White
Champagne
Eggshell
Dutch White (now this one is basically a milky coffee brown)
Bone
Vanilla (this is almost completely a darker skin yellow orange pale color)
Flax
Navajo White
Ecru (almost completely grayish yellowish)

So, yeah. I don't think these should be categorized as white because they aren't. Some are so different that they should just give up and be a color of their own.
And here are some whites that I think should be added :)
Tissue
Marshmallow
Recycled Paper
Eyeball
Human Teeth
Alpaca
Fangs
Cotton Candy
Give me some shades of whites YOU think should be added to the list.
See ya later alligators! :D
