Ghost White, the Off-White That Runs Cold
On its own, Ghost White passes for plain white. Set it beside true #FFFFFF and the difference surfaces: a faint blue cast, cool and slightly hazy, exactly what the name promises. One of the original X11 names carried into CSS, it works through restraint, cooling a layout by a degree or two without ever announcing itself as a color.
That subtlety makes it a strong reading background. Full-brightness white can glare on large monitors, and #F8F8FF takes the edge off while keeping text contrast effectively intact. It also suits portfolio sites and photo galleries, where a barely-blue ground keeps warm images honest and stops the page itself from competing with the work on display.
