Notes
White in CSS is #ffffff, the full on-state of every pixel in the sRGB colour space. As a UI surface it carries no inherent emotional load, which is exactly why it is the default background for the majority of websites and applications. Used too aggressively, especially in large fields under tungsten light, it can produce eye fatigue; many modern designs reach for a slightly warmer off-white like Snow, Ivory, or a Stone 50 instead. Any dark type and any accent colour will pair with it. Two pure white surfaces in adjacent layers will be indistinguishable without separator borders.
