You can test this empirically: The difference is dramatic.
On a somewhat related note, if you are proofing for press, and the paper proof has a paper white simulation added to the background (i.e., printed with absolute colorimetric rendering intent), trim off all margins that are outside the job and show the naked bright white of the unprinted paper. If left on the proof the perception of the proof will be that of darkness and dinginess, as the eye takes its cue from the brightest "white" in the field of view.
