The EpII Clone right?
It is an "off-white" in person if that is what you mean. Not a true white. It does appear kinda grey I suppose.
It is not the same white that the Ep III Clones have, if that is your concern

Do you have pics?

This is the pic of mine, and it has that off white (grey?) look to it, but it is a little darker in person:

must have been the pictures i have seen, as it looks a perfect white in them, yet in the flesh (or vinyl if you prefer) they are gray(ish) anyway here is a pic and pictures of the other koto's i have picked up this week, they are fantastic, especially the Maul.

The Maul, Bly and 501st/Shock are some of my favs that Koto has produced.

It's unfortunate they made the 501st, shock and utapau all the same mould though.

The koto troopers look absolutely great, that Maul is a tough sell. There are just other Mauls available that look much better, great pose though.

My Epsode II Clone trooper is also more of a grey colour than white compare to the Attakus and GG Clone troopers.

Still love it though, a great piece.

That Koto Commander Bly looks great, i think i might have to pick one of those up.

strange, but have gone off my maul and bobba fett almost as soon as they came, i think they are just to big for my liking, i'm more used to the batman black and white and gg's maquette size, gonna keep the bly and eps 2 and 3 clone troopers and i'm also waiting for a koto sandtrooper to arrive, but i think the vader i have got coming will be going straight back on the bay

I felt the exact same way about Boba. Did not impress me at all and sold it almost instantly. The Maul was the same- sold it after a few months.
You will not be disappointed with the ROTS Vader though- looks really good.

The Vader II and almost all their troopers are what really stand out for Koto IMO

i think my favorite of the koto stuff will be the sandtrooper, would love to track down the corporal and sargeant, but they seem a bit high priced for a pvc figure, and i want to try and get the snowtrooper another good looking trooper

I have not seen any of the Stormtrooper variations in person - just the Ep II and III clones.

My biggest concern with the Stormtroopers is that I hear they start to "yellow" even when displayed in a non-smokers home. The Luke Stormtrooper and Sandtroopers seem to have this issue..but again, I have never owned these... this is just what I hear on forums etc.
