It's called 'white' but some people say it's actually gray. Which is it?

This particular background is Black/White. There are Black/Gray backgrounds available, too. Note: a camera's metering system is designed to average all incoming light to 18% gray. Consequently, the white background will be pulled toward gray tones-especially if there is not sufficient contrast in the scene . Therefore, as others in this post have stated, adjustments to background lighting, exposure, or both, must be made to compensate for this camera metering tendency. Hopefully, this sheds some light for you. : )

It's white, but like all white backgrounds you need to light it correctly I would say 1 stop over you exposure to ensure pure white. And make sure it's evenly lit if you want it perfect.

White, but its not really a very bright white if you are looking for a bright white I would suggest seamless paper.

It's white of you light it up with a strobe or two. Otherwise, it will look gray.

It is definitely white, but unless you use additional lighting directly on the background, it will appear grey in the photos. It does also retain some creases from the folding which can be highlighted with shadows if the lighting isn't properly set up. This can be lessened/removed if you iron the background, but that could be challenging if shooting on location.

You're right. It's definitely not white all the way. The white part is exactly where you see in the picture, just the narrow edges on the front. The rest of it is grey (there is no black).

White, which is kind of lame since the picture says differently, and the color is not specified in the description. But only a minor inconvenience :)

It looks "White" to me, but there are sooo many near whites that I am not going to commit myself. What do you use for reference white? Mine could be different!Cheers

I purchased it from here (amazon.com) and it was indeed white. It did come from a third party amazon seller, however I am fairly confident that this is the white version.

My unit is sort of a grayish white. Don't recall what the website called the color.

It's just gray and white. Maybe some people are getting thrown by the blue throw pillow in the picture? It's a lovely cover, and very soft and cozy - an excellent purchase. I do have to say that the pillow shams (except the ones that match the duvet cover itself) look nothing like the ones shown in the picture (and were all pretty lame - I didn't use any of them except the matching ones).

Pure White. The reason it looks different in the photo is that the top panel is mesh/very sheer and the light coming through it is making the solid bottom panel look gray, but it is white.

There are a hundred shades of "white"....I would call this white not cream.

I see the other answer and I agree it is mainly white - it is 2700 so there are yellow/green tones too, but not terrible like some others

I don't know the difference. I guess it's in between closer to a true white.

The background is gray. I too, thought it was white. No, it is distinctly gray.

I wondered the same thing, mine came to me as GRAY. I really like the gray actually. This light is amazing btw, you will not be disappointed.

I think it's more of a natural white, sort of like a white muslin. It's not white-white, but not beige either (at least not the one I bought).

I have the white and it does have a gray hue to it but they look white when hung.
