Pearl white does sound nice! I always thought the flat white was overrated and over used!
Apart from that, my opinion is trust the designers! Although car colours go through fashions, I think that the designers really know what colours their car looks best in. I imagine they pdo ut some effort into it, and not do it over a beer once the 'real design' has been done.
I'm not saying ALL OEM colours are good, some are stinkers, but if you move too far from what they used then you risk the car looking a bit out of place. I saw a 900 resprayed in a royal blue, the guy said it looked darker on the chip but 'he'd gotten to like it'. Think he meant that he wished he stuck to midnight blue.
For a second OEM opinion, then you've got to listen to the marketing men! Though their choice is much more based on fashions, they are pretty good at spotting what are the best colours for the car in their ads and brochures.
Thats my 2c
