the differences between white and off-white

Who can tell me the differences?
So is the expression as "light yellow" and "yellowish".
TKS!

Off-white is a light beige- it is not a pure white.

Light yellow is a gentle colour, and yelowish implies it is not pure yellow, but close.

According to color experts, whites can tend toward blue, gray, brown or yellow. Any of these deviations can produce an off-white, and they would all be slightly different.

Light yellow would be a pale shade of yellow. Yellow-ish could apply to failntl yellow or could be added to another color to make a combination, such as yellowish green.
