I have the Parchment Crystal Pearl and a friend has the Crystal White Pearl I believe (He has a 98) From what I can see, the CWP is more white. My car looks like a pearl white car from all angles night and day, but if you put it up against a real white car you can tell it is not as white.

If you can get a picture or two of your Parchment Crystal Pearl I would really appreciate it!

I have been looking for a pearl white lexus GS but I didnt know if the pearly looking ones were the Parchment Crystal Pearl or the Crystal White Pearl.

And Also, what year is your GS?

Thanks

First pic is my 03 GS430 in Parchment Crystal Pearl. Second pic is of REV-01's 98 Diamond White Pearl. Not sure if you can see the difference, but side by side the CWP/DWP or any pure white for that matter is much whiter than the PCP color. You will have a hard time telling the two from pictures though so you'd have to see the car in person. If anything, the PCP color in bright sunlight from a distance might trick you into thinking the car is a very light silver.

Cinnabar Pearl is the best! It shows a hint of orange in direct sunlight, deep burgandy in the shade, and its a deadly combo with the chrome. I get a LOT of compliments on the color. Black cherry pearl is also nice. IM also biased. LOL

Thanks for those pics CK6Speed... I really like the Parchment Crystal Pearl. It looks more pearly and this is what I like about it. That would be my first pick with a black interior. I am looking for one with a wood steering. I know it will be hard to find it with a black interior as it is extremely rare. My second pick would be the black with saddle interior... Yes, another rare color combo, I know!

If I cant find a car from those two choices I will just get the silver on black.

A wood steering wheel is a must for me!

I really love black exteriors but I feel that black is really hard to maintain. Scratches and such are very easily visible on black cars. I used to have a black on black Lincoln Navigator and it was nightmare.

Blue Spectra Mica hands down, no questions about it.

If I could do it all over again. I would do a 01+ Blue Spectra Mica GS4 with black interior
