How many types of white are there for cars?
2 Answers
White car paints include Pearl White, Ivory White, Cream White, and Crystal White. The relevant explanations are as follows: Introduction: White gives people a bright, lively, and generous feeling. As a neutral color, white harmonizes with the external environment, giving a clean and simple impression. When used in design, white more easily highlights the elegant effects of roundness, fullness, and streamlined shapes. For the currently popular angular and convex-concave body designs, white, due to its obvious shadows, easily showcases the undulations, transitions, and structural forms of the car body. Additional Notes: White paints like Pearl White and Ivory White contain pearl powder or mica flakes in their formulations. These particles are extremely fine and difficult to detect with the naked eye. The addition of these two substances alters the pure white color.
As someone who frequently studies automotive color schemes, I believe white can actually be categorized into three types: standard pure white, pearl white, and cream white. Pure white is the most basic solid paint, affordable but prone to showing age; pearl white incorporates mica flakes, giving it a subtle pearlescent sheen under sunlight - Lexus's Sonic Quartz White is a classic example; cream white has a warm yellowish undertone, like BMW's Mineral White, exuding a gentle warmth. Metallic paint can also add fine glitter particles - for instance, Mercedes' Diamond White creates a stardust effect under lighting. When choosing white, one must consider touch-up costs, as pearl paint involves complex processes making repairs approximately 30% more expensive.
