I found the image on the internet but it has no ID. It's a beautiful white with green highlights.

That would POP in the shade. I don't remember seeing a Coleus like that before.

The image comes from a stock photo site. I don't find it on a gardening site. Hard to tell where the photo originated.

Not saying for certain, but these images might be from the same source as blue coleus... Whistling

I wonder if the color has been altered? Or if it's something other than Coleus? Or maybe just the first stage of sunburn? The bleaching before it turns brown.

The fact that there seems to be only that single image on the internet suggests that other stock photo companies "borrowed" it from whomever first created or published it. I suspect color manipulation. If it were a legit cultivar we'd find other photos or at least references on nursery sites.

Oh that's too bad Sad I might save seeds from the palest color coleus and maybe I'll get some babies with the mostly pale coloring.

Hey, I'm not positive, that just my interpretation based on (lack of) information. Nothing to stop you from continuing the search!
