Off-white, ivory, cream, UGH!

[57roses]

The hardest fabric color for me when listing is anything in the off-white, ivory, cream category.  I will sometimes use two colors in the description.    I think of cream being a little more yellow tone than ivory and off-white being less than bright white.

I listed a vintage chiffon peignoir set on my second ID and get this question:

Hello!
I'm interested in purchasing this peignoir set, but I just wanted to check something regarding the colour.
It says this is in "ivory", but I have usually seen this set in either white or cream colour.
Is this the same colour as the cream one (or the white one), or is it a third different colour?

LOL.  I just said the chiffon looks off-white and the lining of the gown is cream or ivory.

...Now, in looking up the question to quote it,  I noticed  a message from eBay saying that account may have been compromised so not to take any offers from the ID...

YIKES, what is up with that!

Maybe a hijacked account.

Here's some of the message:

Interesting because I have 13 watchers and decided to add Best Ofer to it earlier today and was not able to. Nor can I send offers to the other watchers. I may just end and re-list it.

Off white or winter white, to me, is a cool tone, while ivory is a warm tone as it often has a faint yellow undertone. Cream, IMO, is in between the two and can go either way, warm or cool.
