Jeremy1976 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 We want pearl white. What is the technical term for this color? I see frost mica, starlight pearl, and tungsten pearl. They all look white to me... I just simply want pearl white. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth1 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 It's the different metal flake colors in the paint. If I'm not mistaken, starlight pearl has a pinky, bluey metal flake and tungsten pearl has more of a silvery shimmer to the white, and frost mica is more just white.

Sounds like the Tungsten is more of what we want then. We do not want a silver car that is for sure so I am hoping it is more white. I will have to see them in person.

mr_raider Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Tungsten pearl metallic is grey/silver. Not white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicLX470 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I thought it was called Starfire Pearl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tungsten is Silver--it is not white at all. Glacier Frost is the color that has all the different shades of white/blue/purple. In some light, it looks like primer. The current white on the IS is Starfire Pearl. In '06 it was called something else; but Tungsten has always been silver, and Glacier Frost has always been hard to describe.

I was thinking Millinium Silver of 01-05's was the silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
