Is this blade truly white or light gray? I purchased a tape measure once that was actually light gray when I got it.

Amazing tape

Love this tape messure. Is it cheating to have everything marked on it? You bet it is. But when your working fast mistakes happen easy but with all the fractions written on the tape its amazing. Plus the pencil sharpener and notepad biult in are so handy.
