Off-white gives a room a very different feel than white-white.

It depends on the quality of the light in the room. I tend to avoid
colors that are easily named. If a name doesn't immediately spring
to mind when you see a particular color then I'm apt to like it.
I don't much care for blue, green, tan or pink either though I do
like some peaches, yellows and lavenders. I don't really like most
pastels but I do like more intense colors as well as lots of
neutrals. I also like ocher washes and ocher-look paints that are
finally "coming in" now.
