Default Difference between Crystal White (062) and Moonlight Pearl (072)

Any pictures for comparison?

I have seen the pictures on the Toyota reference site and I like the Moonlight Pearl better I think...

Crystal white is just that... white. The Moonlight Pearl you could say is an off-white, egg shell color. Not "creme" per say, but not total white. My life likes the Pearl and I sort of prefer it too, over the white. Then of course once it came time to buy, we went the opposite spectrum and got BLACK !!!!

i like crystal white since it's more pure white compare to moonlight pearl is more off white. crystal white has great sparkles in the paint which is really nice. crystal white is closer to starfire pearl in the newer model Lexus cars.

I'm starting to think we should have gone white (lighter color) because the Obsedian we have is dirty by the time I drive from my driveway after a car wash into the garage. and every single little spot is visible. Ugh...

That is what I did after my midnight blue (almost black) 7 series.
Black looks great when detailed but the life of the looks is in minutes whereas my silver LS430 shines for days.

Thank you guys for your responses...

I was set on Flint Mica, then decided I wanted black. Then considered the black cherry, and am now contemplating the Moonlight Pearl

I got the Moonlight Pearl, to me it got more silver in it then the Crystal White.

Like other have mention, Crystal White is more white, Moonlight Pearl is a little off white.

Here are a few pics of my car if anyone want to see the color:

I've got Crystal White and one thing I've noticed is that in direct sun you see the gold pearl in it.
