Default Difference between the white colors?

Has anyone gotten all the different whites that were available over the years together, for a comparison?

My glacier white coupe looks to to be slightly blue or grey. Was Polaris white a true neutral white?

Here’s a pic of my car next to what appears to be a flat white Lexus:

The Lexus looks more like my Fuji white coupe. I believe a prior model year called Fuji by a different name. I love the Fuji white.

I actually love comparing and contrasting white colors. Amongst my favorite are BMW Alpine White and Mercedes Arctic White. They're slightly creamier and richer looking that most chalk whites in my opinion.

Seeing both the article or fuji white next to my Polaris white really shows the difference. Polaris is a softer more neutral white. Fuji is very bright.

Default Polaris white


This is with no filter on a cloudy day. No hint of blue anywhere. All white

Hmm because I would say that looks identical to my Glacier White Coupe, at least from the photo.

Here’s another, also overcast day, and the picture was fairly accurate to what it looks like in real life: a cool (blueish) slightly metallic white.

I always thought Glacier had a touch of grey mixed in.

The problem with photos is that the camera can add subtle changes due to white balance.
FYI: Glacier White is now called Yulong White ...
