Default Best white for WS6

I love white and am wanting to change the color of my 2001 T/A WS6 from Petwer (which I hate) to white. I like the Blizzard Pearl from Toyota, but in you guys' opinions, if the color was white, what's the best out there?

If you can find it, Diamond white that came on some of the c6's is jizzpants material

White diamond tri-coat like the gm trucks, escalades, and a lot of other gm cars have as options is what I'm guessing you're referring to. It looks pretty good. But I think the Lexus IS white looks better. The gm color is too yellow IMO.

Gotta be a nice pearl white, like on the CTS or this new Buick I just saw a few minutes ago.

Personally I think the Pewter is one of the better factory colors for these cars so I would keep it and just accent it with some black (like the CETA mod and a few other tastefull touches).

The Tesla Model S Pearl white they have is the nicest I've seen, it has almost no yellow to it which is amazing.

whats wrong with the OEM GM arctic white?
even the 19 year old paint on my formula is still wear-sunglasses-while-looking-at-it bright in the sun.
we mixed some up for my engine bay 2 years ago and there was no yellow mixed at all.

Arctic white is pretty white. BMW Alpine white may be whiter. The Camry white is pretty damn white too

I like bright white like the arctic white...only way i'd do pearl is if I could get it with no yellow or beige tint which is almost impossible.

I love my arctic white WS6, I think the only other white I would paint it is a matte white pearl like the Z28 concept.

The trick to making the white pop is to contrast it with black accents!!

^^^^^ What RikkiTorment said! Btw, sick car Rikki. I see it on insta every once and awhile. Mine is only plasti-dipped but it is matte white. And I love it! It is super bright and easy to clean and take care of. If I ever get sick of it then I'll just peel it off and go back to black

Thanks man, I appreciate it!!

That matte white you're running is definitely eye catching too even if it is just PD, it looks like it was done well!

Of all the whites out there, GM's arctic white is still one of if not the best. For the pearls, I think Audi's Glacier white metallic is pretty badass. The yellow'ee white pearls like Cadillac white diamond and few others are gross looking.

i know this is old but im going with the GM Linen White , for my 1982 z28 project, it looks to be the brightest from all the paint cards i have looked at IMO.
