    Cow Milk is white. Orange cheese is colored with annato. (Yes, yellow cheddar is colored with annato or other coloring. Same with yellow American cheese)

    Natural unaged cheese color is the same as milk, white or a light off white.

      well, i live in central europe, where cheese is still a natural product (unlike whatever the hell is called “cheese” in america), and i’ve never seen cheese that’s the same color as milk (on the inside, below the crust). it’s mostly yellow or yellow-white.

        I think the key word was unaged. Cheese tends to become yellow when aged, starting very quickly. But stuff like cottage cheese and mozzarella are indeed milk colored
