This is a "near white" color.  Design and quality are very good for the cost.  My only disappointment is that while all holes are predrilled and assembly very straightforward, it does sit level.  It rocks side to side on two legs until you sit on it.  I tightened the screw in nylon glides provided, but still the dimensional difference persists.  It was this or a stool from another manufacturer at $300.00 each.  Hmm...
