White is white, right? Wrong!
Anyone that has painted an interior white, knows all too well that there are hundreds of colours considered white by the paint and home decor industry. The annoying thing is that artists and interior decorators don't speak the same language, or at least it seems that way. If you would like to work with interior designers it's a good idea to learn their lingo.
Artist colours
Titanium White - A very cool, overpowering and opaque white. Pastels created with this white tend to be thick and heavy looking.
China White - Presumably made from white china clay which has a slightly stoney dull look but not as harsh as Titanium White.
Zinc White (Mixing White) - A soft, lightly coloured and translucent paint that creates more delicate pastels
Antique White - A warm opaque white tending towards beige.
Lead White - A thick metallic tinged opaque white used by early artists which is now banned.
Ivory White - A luscious creamy opaque white. A softer accent than Titanium White, but take care when mixing because it already contains yellow.
Designer Names for White
Almost all commercial interior paint contains Titanium White because of it's coverage and reflectivity. #FFFFFF is the closest html colour to Titanium White
