You would want to go with Pearl! It's a premium colour... lol

Plus, pearl hides a lot of the dirt and is astonishing under sunlight!

IMHO, I would not want a white if it was not pearl. WRB was my next preference.

It's a classic color and the pearl in these makes it that much better. And this coming from a Firestorm owner. BTW, white was the only color Triumph offered in every year of TR6 production. Like I said, "classic color".

And I also believe the twins are the only cars I have ever seen that look good in every color offered. Think about that for a minute because it's not like that with other makes and models. Sure, everyone has a preference but I think most would agree that they all look good.

Pearl white is a really nice color. I had the same color on my STI. Really it just comes down to preference.

White is the most popular color on vehicles sold in North America, if not most of the world. Therefore it makes sense that you'll see more whiteout than anything else.

Personally, I think white should be left to work vans and camcords, but the car looks pretty good in any of the colors.

^This. I would have gone white if it were not pearl. Instead I went with Firestorm.

B/c race car.

White is one of the most popular colors for cars in general. There are several articles that touch on that. This article elaborates a little bit as to why:

Three letters...JDM! It's sexy!

MissDeb · 04-11-2013, 09:51 AM

It is because so many work trucks/vans: carpenters, farm, electrician, plumber, government, road construction and the like are white. It seems like almost every F-150 & Cheyenne truck I see is white.

If you drive a white truck you will gravitate to a white car.
