Humans discern color from the "cones" in the eyes, and those are defined by X chromosomes. Women have two X chromosomes, men only one. As a result, women have more of them and are able to discern variations in shade much better than men.
This explains why I cannot see "billowy" or "balanced" or "serenity", so this just looks like white to me.
I once painted my apartment with a color called, ‘Antique White’. The walls had previously been a slightly grayish white that was less warm much cooler.
The difference was amazing; the whole tone and feeling of the apartment changed.
I am a woman, and I do, indeed, see many shades, but I agree with you about this example. It’s just white.
And white is not interesting, in my opinion. It makes a good trim choice, but it is not good as the main color.
