There's no such thing as a shade of white.
It's either white or not.

Only if you ignore physics, convention, and common sense.

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 16:37, archived)

No, white is white; by definition white reflects all wavelengths of visible light equally.
Therefore everything sold as a shade of white is actually a pale shade of another colour.

but paint, due to it's nature
can never be truly white

Quite probably true.

( Mu Dinofiddler, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 16:42, archived)

Twaddle.
There's no formal definition of white in physics. There's not even a quantitative definition of visible light.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 16:42, archived)

No, but there is a conventional definition.
You DID mention convention.
( Mu Dinofiddler, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 16:43, archived)

Eh?
The conventional definition is 'it looks kind of white'.

Given the variation in human eyes, I'm dubious that you're going to come up with any useful pedantry here.

I've already explained my position above.
You're free to hold your own beliefs.

Very kind.
I believe you should have paid more attention at school.

this isn't a belief thing, this is a you being wrong about a thing thing

I'm not wrong, I just didn't want to be drawn into a "reiterate yourself 10,000 times for the guy who's never going to agree with you even if you have a signed affidavit from god/hawking/his mother" argument.

no, you are wrong and the sooner you man up and face the facts the better for the good of this forum
be the better man here mu

Being wrong suits you.
You should do it more often. If that were possible.

White work divided by white time.

Are you suggesting the blacks don't work?
Racist.

really?
that's mad. there should be a scientific definition.
COME ON BOFFINS!
( mictoboy shitting in your cunt since, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 16:49, archived)

I'm sure there are some material science nerds desperately competing for the whitest thing in the world.
You could ask them.
