Hello,

    I'm sorry I missed this post.... 

    There is a working "Blue ribbon" group, the White Gold Taskforce run
    by MJSA and WJC. Standards are being discussed, and will be
    established with a scientific color coordinate system to enforce the
    rule on what is the best white, not requiring rhodium, a middle white
    with rhodium optional and an "off white" (all my terms not official
    ones) that would require rhodium. Someday (I hope soon) the trade
    will address rhodium performance standards. The task force includes
    alloy folks, retail folks, color experts, you name it. Look to news
    from MJSA or WJC for the official word so far.
