All L lenses pretty much look the same colour wise. Enjoy that lens! I had one and loved it.

Full frame and some primes.

If it were true white, it would often be clipped on the histogram when another photographer took a picture of it in a pic for the sports mags. Canon is not stupid enough to lose the opportunity for free advertising! ;)

White or off-white, it will still trigger the L fever!

In all the pictures ive seen of the 70-200f/4 IS against the 70-200f/2.8 you can see a big difference in colour.
Cant see why you though it would be different to the photos of it.
But its a fantastic lens isnt it. ive only had mine about three weeks and i just love it.

I've held both in my hand, didn't see much of a difference.

Yeah, it's a little grey-ish...different from the other 70-200 lenses.
Man, fantastic combo in the 70-200 f4IS and 17-55IS.

Have some fun!!!

Well after much examination from the Canon website pictures of the two 70-200 f/4 IS and 2.8 IS, I can see the greyish tint of the f/4. However, it also apears that the f/4 has a brighter/bigger red ring.

Can't wait to order mine...
