That's called white in my language.

But then I had to come here to learn that white doesn't exist except on paper. Try to find anything painted white, put a sheet of regular paper over it and you'll see that the paper is whiter. I tried to find white tiles for the bathroom, and had to settle for some that were sufficiently white - and when I had to buy more, I had to take good care to find that exactly same brand, or the differences between the shades of white would be visible from an airplane.

Just mounted a new lamp yesterday, and the bulb is labeled "soft white". That's yellow tinged (probably emulating the hot bulb), which is obvious if you put a regular (neon) next to it. I'll probably have to buy a pack of white white bulbs, before the "soft" white becomes the standard.

The land of technicolor is actually gray. My beard is white, ergo foreign (NOT INTERNATIONAL!).

>I have some "Just For Men" to dye your beard with that someone gave me as a gag gift when I turned 40 (three years ago). I don't have a beard, so I could send it to you if you like. <g>

I was fading my jeans regularly, by just wearing them, no fakes. Same goes for the beard. It is as it is, and so it stays.
