Off-white has different shades, as seen in this image of the girl's pants and shirt, and the paper and wall.
Off-white is a color with a slight undertone of another color, such as blue or yellow. When making off-white using paint, always mix carefully by adding small parts of another color to the white, then make adjustments if needed. Mix the colors on a palette, in a container, or on wax paper. If painting a large area, it is best to create a large quantity for consistency in the color. The paint may be stored in an airtight jar for future use.
