whitish to me means roughness, or grainy.
imagine a piece of wood that is smooth. if it suddenly feels rough (whitish), it is no longer smooth.
so it matters what you mean by whitish.
in photography it would be considered a chromatic aberration.
so, in audio , while it is not a frequency response phenomenon, if it is a timbral error, there is a good chance that smoothness would suffer.
