Thank you very much, this is very helpful. I've never really thought about how white appears before. I will check for shadows and then quit worrying about it.

Please forgive me if this question has been asked many times before. I've spent the afternoon googling and have searched the forum here as well, and I feel a bit overwhelmed at the moment. I am new to building, and have been working on a house. It's a very simple house built out of box prims, and at present I'm trying to do the exterior textures. The problem is that even when I use a white texture, the exterior appears gray to me. I have the "color" set to white. The texture preview appears white. But it still shows as gray. Daylight settings are set to midday right now, I haven't customized anything in the environment editor. Thanks for any help you can provide. I feel convinced this is an easy fix, and yet I've spent hours trying to find the answer and haven't managed to.
