Default Saw a white 350...it looked blue-ish?

OK, I need clarification please... I just saw a white GS350 i..but it is cloudy today and my wife and I both said it looked like it had a tint of blue.
I have never noticed this before as white will one day be my choice of color....aren't there 2 types of white for the GS models.? Please say yes because this thing looked ....well..feminine..was it just the overcast weather causing this blue hue?

Mercury Metallic or Opaline Pearl perhaps because Starfire Pearl is really white.

If you need me to update the chart please post your model year (or production date), color code and a description or photo of your car. For now this is for US-Spec cars only, I will add other countries in the future.

Default Ah ha..

OK, so it must have been the glacier Frost...and I meant no offense with the comment of it being femine...that was a little strong, it just caught me by surprise. So.....which white has the what I call "metallic flake" in it....that must be the Starfire pearl?

yeah, theres a pretty good chance you saw a Glacier Frost car. im biased of coarse, but i believe its one of the best colors. not so much cuz of anything other than its rare and you never seem to see alot of GFM cars out there. it is definitely an eye-catching shade and pictures just dont do it justice. The forecast changes the color from a pearly white to a shade of light, light blue like you saw. Heres a couple of mine. One in overcast weather, one in the bright sun, and the other trying to show the "pearly" paint color.

p.s.- and i have been ridiculed about having a "feminine colored" car. to each his/her own i guess. i like it anyway.

I bought a CPO gfm gs300 last saturday.I was not planning
on buying a car for myself but the colors on the gfm
called to me. Not feminine at all, just clean cool
and classy.

Glacier Frost Mica is something you have to see up close and person. It's one of the best colors for a car I've seen imo! I'm jealous FROST!

HaHaHa, thanks man.

Glacier Frost is my favorite, followed by Verdigris Mica. Verdigris Mica was a close second during the long search for my car. its an amazing color in person as well.
