What people use a antique white screen for
Because Antique White is so light, a antique white screen doubles as a soft light source: prop a phone or tablet beside you as fill light on a video call, use it as a gentle reading light, or as a backlit surface for tracing.
White screens are the most-used solid colour of all: a full white field is a light source. People use one to check a monitor, phone or TV for dead pixels, dust and backlight bleed, as a tracing light-pad, as a fill light for video calls and photography, as an improvised flashlight, and as a clean background for scanning or product shots.
As a test pattern, a flat antique white field makes a dead or stuck pixel jump out, and it exercises the red, green and blue sub-pixels.
