Insignia white is definitely an off white colour. I used Tamiya LP35 on my A-wing build, which is the very same colour, and it’s almost like pure white with some buff added. It’s a great shade but far from pure white. Hope this helps Anthony.

I was reading that Insignia White is 3 parts white and 1 part unbleached white or buff. So not a pure white. Tamiya was reported to be a very light grey color. Seems neither really works. Maybe something in the middle is closer.

Just to chip in, AK RC insignia white is also off white as well.
