The pearl white Ducati Panigale in my garage differs with you. Just sayin'.

FR-S is a pearl white, totally different ( not just in my perspective). Any white has a high albedo (which is a good thing in that it reflects light, and won't make your car (interior) too hot.

The only thing pearl white that I've seen in person that I like tends to be certain luxury cars ( Lexus SC400 , LS , etc), Genesis sedan, etc. To me, pearl denotes luxury, not so much sport. SC300 or 400 = sport coupe , yes but with gold emblems , pearl white paint they can look sexy. The interior, and much of the car still resonates luxury more so then sport.

3.5 year necro. Well done indeed.

White has always been a popular color it's a classic color that universally looks good on any design regardless if it's a sports car, truck, SUV even though I love my Asphalt.

Is it the Arctic white? is there any pearl flake in the paint ? If not, it should be similar to Polar white I'd think. I've never seen one in person.

It's not strictly a pearlescent paint, but semi flat with a silvery sheen. Hard to describe but looks very nice in sunlight.

I had the 2013 Whiteout and that shit chipped like crazy. IDK if it's a common issue but paint by the mud guard cover started peeling off. It was nice when it was clean but man, paint totally sucked balls! My 1995 Camry SE coupe had better paint.

Typically tri-coat paint (like Whiteout) will hold up better.

That said, my Whiteout 2013 has quite a few chips in the front fascia (because sportscar), but that's the only place. Otherwise, the paint is holding up quite well.

White has been the most popular color of all cars and trucks for many many years. Nothing new.
