White Colors
23 white colors in the library, 4 of them carrying a registered name. Every swatch opens a full breakdown: hex, RGB, HSL, HSV, CMYK, LAB and OKLCH values, WCAG contrast, harmonies, tints and shades.
Almost nothing in a considered interface is pure #FFFFFF. The near-whites collected here — bone, eggshell, ivory, alabaster — sit above about 85% lightness with barely any saturation, and the small amount of colour they carry is what keeps a light theme from feeling clinical. They are also gentler to read against, because pure white at full brightness is a common source of eye strain.
Named White Colors
The whites that carry a published name, from the CSS keywords through the paint and print registries. These are the ones worth referring to by name in a brief, because the person reading it can look them up.
Every White by Lightness
The full white range grouped from darkest to lightest. Lightness is the L in HSL — the fastest way to find a white that will hold up as a background, a border, or body text against the rest of your palette.

Working with White
For the editorial guide — what white signals, where it works, and what to pair it with — read shades of white. To find a white by name rather than by eye, use the A-Z index of color names. To build a palette around one, open any swatch and use the palette generator or check it in the contrast checker.
