I'm a fan of "Silver Queen" myself.  It's white corn and
as far I'm concerned, completely different from yellow
corn.
From the internet:
Silver Queen Corn is an American variety of sweet corn with
white kernels and a sugary taste. It has a light yellow-white
color and thin, tender kernels that are especially sweet when
cooked. The cultivar was first grown in 1880 by William Bates,
who named it after his daughter Queenie (or “Silver Queen”).
It is revered for its long harvest season and plump, sweet
kernels. Unlike newer “sugary enhanced” sweet corn cultivars,
Silver Queen has a milder sugar content. The plant produces
large ears with white and yellow kernels.
The Silver Queen I buy only has white kernels, no mixing
of yellow in the ears.
