When our son was a band director, I would always set the white balance on 
one of the students white shirts under the mixed lighting on the stage.

The Kodak grey cards come with a card that has white on one side.  While 
my
work is rarely so critical that I must use a standard white card, it's a
simple matter to standardize on one.

Just as a practical matter, I know I'm fairly good at recognizing pure
white as opposed to ivory or another shade that comes close. However, I
find it hard to distinguish between a slightly bluish gray and a pure gray
or a slightly warm gray and a pure gray. White, on the other hand, I know.
And a piece of ordinary printing paper is pretty darn close to pure white.
