The far right is pure white. The lightest light from my blanket is the second on the right. So its falling in a blue/gray or blue lavender I'd say. Now we can argue that the camera messed up or something like that.
But I'd say the brightest light on the blanket is fairly cool even with the direct, extremely hot Texas sun still shining on it.
(Its still summer here and I'm tired of it, can you tell?)

Hi Robin,
Perhaps it's all "subjective." Or at least, not as cut and drid as we might think. Why do I say this? Because I have noticed an interesting thing when I look at snow or an overcast sky in the winter. Each eye sees light differently. If I close one eye, the sky appears to be slightly redder than when viewed with the other.
Now have you also noticed how, when looking at shadows when your face is in full sunlight, how "red" they appear? If I block the sun from my face then they are much bluer. Perhaps not relevant to ypur original question but an obseravtion of how the sun changes perception when it hits the eyeball.
Tomorrow take a large white sheet of paper and place it in the full Sun in the morning, warm light.. Then place an orange and a grapefruit on the paper. Keep a separation between the shadows. Now go get your gray card with a hole punched in it and view each cast shadow. Get right up close. No photoshop needed.
