Not quite right. If you are mixing both with the same paint system it`s still 500ml vs 500ml of the same system. More to the point would be one is a 3 layer, Like White pearls, but it`s still a pearl 2 layer.
Edit Ok o2C is 2 layer and K7X is 3. Mines K7X just looked.

You only asked if there was a difference and you didn't specify that you were asking quantitatively.

I love Asphalt Gray on my FR-S, but I’m usually drawn to either darker colors, or white. I was hoping to find a Halo White but the right one didn’t pop up. I like that white is a traditional Japanese racing color. Asphalt really does pop when it’s all clean and waxed, and I like having black badges on my car to keep a stealth look.

If I get a 2nd gen BRZ I’m really leaning towards WRB. I’ve never owned a WRB Subie. My WRX was silver.

I would agree the hot lava was a love it or hate it color.

I really dug my 2017 Solar orange Limited edition 86

But, being bright orange with a slight pink hue in a certain light, it was a love it or leave it thing at dealers, the colour was why I got such an awesome deal on it

Under fluorescent lights at the dealer it looked really pinkish, but under natural light the colour was spectacular

That was a fun little car

Any car that is a color is good!

That only applies to light spectrum colors(RGB),not pigments(CMYK)which is the complete opposite.

I think white colored cars look atrocious and only belong on work vans and trucks.I own a Hot Lava and really like it,but if I had seen an Asphalt at the dealer when I bought mine,I would've probably bought it all things being equal.

Lunar "STORM" most moronic name on this list. Why not Lunar Ocean or Lunar Safari. Bitches would like it too.

I think he had that wrong. Isn’t black ‘all colors’ and white ‘the absence of color’? Ahhh wait never mind you corrected that by saying color pigments.
White cars can be incredibly awesome, so I gotta disagree with you on that. They always look clean, and you can see all the curves.

Pictures of this color don’t do it justice. In person it looks amazing.
