Color is different things to different people. Buttermilk, au lait, cream, light yellow, off white, chalk, and hundred others are words for colors that appeal to a lot of people. Sour milk or milk curds or perhaps "mud puddle white" may be used by people who are not captivated by this class of colors. Color is "better" when evenly distributed and I cannot stand petals that look transparent as they are not attractive and burn in the bright sunlight. I should stop here and say that breeding a nice off white or cream flower is difficult. There have been many "almost nice" ones and MM Butter Cream was a really nice one except it always had slightly open center.
