Near-whites and off-whites radiate purity, simplicity, and spacious clarity. They feel open and unbounded, associated with cleanliness, fresh starts, and minimalism. These tones create a sense of potential and possibility, inviting focus on content.

Off-whites are preferred over pure white for page backgrounds to reduce glare. They feel warmer while maintaining a clean, bright aesthetic. Use for primary backgrounds and content areas where visual breathing room is needed.
