bright white

Stark, blinding pale

Bright white describes the most intense, pure white—white without any hint of cream, ivory, or gray.

It suggests maximum reflectivity or luminosity: bright white snow, bright white teeth, a bright white light.

In product descriptions, bright white distinguishes from softer whites: bright white paper, bright white paint.
