I am not sure, but I think the Starfire Pearl has some metallic specs in the paint that gives it some glimmer/depth.

they're definitely different, I've compared an 06 crystal white right next to an 07 starfire.

the crystal white is more of a pure white when the starfire pearl has sparkles in it and is more of a creamy color.

I am personally very biased towards pearlescent colors. The starfire pearl appears warmer to me.

In comparison with Crystal White to Starfire, Starfire Pearl is a brighter white. The pearlescence is more pronounced with Starfire in direct sunlight. Side by side, Crystal White is a little yellow in comparison.

Here's Starfire on an 07 IS350, identical to what's on the 07 GS:

I like the Starfire Pearl better but I could be biased.

Before I bought my car, I was considering a Crystal White as well but I checked out both cars side by side and decided the Starfire Pearl is a lot nicer but that's my own opinion. You should go check it out and then you can make a judgement call on your own.
