Talk:antique white

"broken white"? My USA brain has no idea what "broken" means in this context.


 * Maybe it wasn't edited by a native English speaker. In Dutch gebroken wit means white, that's not exactly white, so slightly mixed with another color, mostly yellow or brown. --Polyglot 20:45, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * gebroken wit = off-white. Antique white is a specific shade of off-white. —Stephen 00:09, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
