I saw a white IS 250 the other day and I thought it had pearly look. Is it Pearl White or is it just just white?

Crystal white is pearl white.

EDIT: Granted this picture is blurry as hell, I took it with my cell phone and I was shaking in our 50 degree california weather.

But you can see the pearl sheen.

GFM has more of a blue tint in the pearl.. both have pearl flakes though.
And for some reason.. Pocky, that pic makes me want a white...

in the daytime, crystal white looks brighter and whiter..at night, it looks more pearly.

GFM, that's a whole another ball game.

This is Aznracer's car from my.IS. His is the best example of GFM.







GSE25, Yes this is the reason why I loved Crystal White so much. But it's a dime a dozen here in Southern California. I saw two new IS's last night leaving the office. Both going opposite directions, two different cars, both Crystal White...within.....3 minutes of each other.

GFM will always be more rare and exotic. But, it's a mixed review when it comes to GFM. Some call it ugly, some call it primer, I call it sexy.

I have the crystal white on my 350 and love it. I kinda think the GFM looks a little on the girly side for me just like the breakwater blue or what ever its called (the baby blue looking color). Just my .02

I do like the Crystal White

CW w/ Black inside ended up being my second choice. No regrets but the CW is nice!

Didn't we have a thread where a member took pics of the 2 colors together?

The first picture you posted is Breakwater Blue. Someone uploaded the wrong photo onto scion life, thinking it's GFM.

Crystal white is a real nice sporty color. But my current car is already pearl white, I'd figure I'll go with the girly GFM this time 'round.

Edit: Here is the thread where the guy posted pictures of both CW & GFM together.
