Is the white shade a stark white or more of an off white?

It's more of an off white, but using a soft white bulb makes this lamp really look great, so I highly recommend if you'll use this bulb for this fixture. For me, it's one of the best I've purchased because the light output, durability, and its efficiency are impeccable. Also, the color of the light and the shade blends well.

With the light off it is an more of an off white. Like a linen white. Not cream but not stark white

Stark white. My bathroom cabinets are antique white, and this is very white, but it still looks nice.

It's more off-white. Will work well with any color. But, if you want white white, it is not.

I just got this a few days ago (July 2014), and it is indeed off white. I should have trusted the "votes" beside the answers to this question instead of the # of answers saying white (3) vs. off-white (1).

more white than off-white, wish it were sand (to match my overhead door and my painted trim). anyway, you can spray paint the outside easily enough (keep the cover closed when you do)

It's gray and off white. I find it very attractive and blends in well with stainless steel and white - maybe not so much with beige or brown.

Yes, I would say that it is white. It is not stark while, but it is definitely a creamy white.

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

The shade is more of a tan, but light and very neutral. It is really nice and the lamp puts out very pleasant light. It is bright enough but not overpowering.I am very happy with it.

The white is not stark or cream. It is a perfect white that melds well with the blue in the lamp.I love this lamp and consider it one of my best purchases ever.

The lamp has an off white shade. There is a brass colored pull chain to turn the lamp on and off and the clamps that go over the headboard are white. The lamp is wonderful, simple and easy to use. I would buy the lamp again.

Hi, it's white on one side.. light tan on the other. Both sides are very nice depending on choice.

I believe this chair is off-white, not white. When holding a piece of copy paper next to it, you can see that the paper is stark white, and the chair is off-white or a creamy white.

I'd say mostly it's off-white-ish, but there is definitely a yellow tint to it. If you're looking for pure white, this is not it.

Not really. It's more of a brownish beige, not nearly as light as the picture would suggest. If you're looking for white/ off white, move along to your next choice.
