whitish
Somewhat like milk
Whitish means somewhat white or pale, approaching white without quite reaching it.
The suffix -ish softens the color, suggesting an off-white or faded quality: a whitish film on the surface, whitish paint that had yellowed with age.
The term applies to anything pale or washed-out in appearance.
