Pearlescent white...

[DJones]

I just recently returned from nearly 3 weeks in Florida and i couldn't believe how many cars were painted in pearlescent white, it seemed like every other car...

Even saw a new 750li BMW in pearlescent white (looked s h i t e mind you!!) but there are an unbelievable amount of cars in that colour, I don't remember that many when i was there previously...

It must be similar to the trend in UK for white cars again.

i think it was the R8 and Maserati MC12 that started the new white craze, i loved it at first, boaring now.

White is white, and Black is Black.... Pearl white is not alpine white and Graphite Metallic isn't Panther black.... The colour isn't the problem, it's the bodyshell it is sprayed on to...

IMHO , Alpine White (L90E) all the way.... Never been a fan of Pearl on the Ur's, it (IMHO) sits uncomfortably on Ur's, looking 'tea bag' stained over the changing angles of the rear flanks... Alpine, by contrast, looks sharp and classic, with that warm white.

Florida has something that you Brits don't get much of.

It is called sunshine.

Dark colours including but not limited to black in the sun = egg frying hot in the Florida sun. Hence the popularity of white or pearl for practical reasons.

It is probably also considered "fly" (or whatever the current word for "kewl" is).
