If I said something was the colour of ice-cream, what colour would you expect it to be?

I don't know why I am incapable of making cheese on toast without either burning the toast or making a complete mess with the cheese.

Interestingly, a(n anecdotal) majority of cheap ice-cream brands' vanilla is yellow, not cream.

Yes. Which is why the off-white I'm imagining is warm (leaning towards yellow) and not cold (leaning towards bluish/grey). Ahem. But yeah, I know what you mean.

I'd think of vanilla. Though I also had a flash of neopolitan stripes for some reason!

Ooh, neopolitan! Would it matter what I was talking about? Like, if I said it was an ice-cream coloured pole or, um, I can't think of anything that's naturally striped (except Zebras, and they don't generally come in a wide range of colours.)

Or ribbons. Ribbons can be stripy, and if you said icecream coloured, I might well think cream/pink/brown stripes. At least, that'd be my insta-reaction.

But yes, I think it would depend what you're describing.

...cream, pink, and brown ribbons together could look pretty good now I think about it. *steals for possible later character use*

Everyone seems to think of vanilla first. It is ubiquitous!

What flavor ice-cream?

That'd be a bit of a giveaway, wouldn't it?

(If I said something was ice-cream flavoured, what flavour would you expect?)

Cold and sweet?

...that's true.

Pretty much everybody except one person so far has thought of vanilla first when thinking of ice-cream.

White, but transluscent.
