The diamond pearl white is known for yellowing. (just compare the door jamb to the outside body)
I think blending the paint would look...ok i guess the 97 conversion makes up for that?

DPW is one of the hardest colors to match, it rarely comes out perfectly matched with original paint..Consult with your bodyshop, it'll probably need a lot of blending..
