It is most likely Olympic White,my Jimmy Vaughn Strat is Olympic White which has a "creamy"tint to it.There is also Arctic White but that is as close to pure white as you can get.There is also Vintage White which is a bit "creamier" than Olympic White.So depending on "creaminess" it is either Olympic or Vintage White.I do believe that there is a colour chart on the Fender Products pages also.

I think that might be backwards, guitslinger - my MIM strat is listed as arctic white and is a little creamy, while the MIA strats I've seen are called Olympic White and look almost perfectly white.

The chart reminds me of my first *blonde* Tele in '68.

It will depend on which model you have! In 2003, the Standard Tele came in Arctic White, and the Classic Tele came in Olympic White! :)

Hi Brian_Strat according to Fender specs the Jimmie Vaughn Strat is available only in 2 colour sunburst,Candy Apple Red,black and Olympic White as mine is and it is a creamy colour.When I bought my J.V. a couple of weeks ago I compared it to an arctic white and the arctic white was brilliant next to the olympic.

Well no big deal anyway as they all start turning cream colored with age.

Arctic White is a purer white and Olymipic white is slightly creamer. guitslinger has it right! Here is a good tool for looking over colors. Check the Whites as per Fender:
