What does WHITY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Somewhat white; carrying a faint white cast rather than being fully white.
Whity softens the plain colour word white into an approximate shade, useful for something that leans toward white without quite reaching it, such as faded paint or pale skin. It works the same way as other informal -y colour adjectives, like greeny or bluey, giving a casual impression of colour rather than a precise name for it. The word stays informal throughout, used in loose description rather than in technical colour terms.
How WHITY is used
