I'm planning on doing a butt wrap with Polyneon thread but need white which they don't have. Can someone suggest a white thread that has the same sheen, if that's the right word? I don't want a flat color.

I bought some Madeira Polyneon bright white at a quilt shop. They also have off white but Madeira's white is called bright white color #1801

I made a mistake. 1801 and a few others are on the color card. I over looked it because they don't look white to me. I'll look at them tomorrow in the sunlight.

1801 is also described as 'white' on Mudhole's website if you look there. I can tell you that it is definitely white, I use it often.

I'm ordering a few spools now.
You might consider The Sewphisticated Stitcher. They have a considerable selection.

The best white out of any thread you will ever use is Madeira XTRA. I use it quite a bit, it stands out so much more than 1801 white, NCP white or nylon white.
