Ya'll are too picky - I'd take an Aston in any color I could get my hands on... Those cars look good in any color.

What looks different about this paint compared to GFM, the Aston's white is brighter when you're not in the flattering angle of blue. A GFM car looks very bland in certain angles. It tends to look more like a dull cream or light khaki color.

Maybe this is a better (and real) photo capture:

Yep, this one is close (although I think the one I saw is slightly more bluish), but it's probably it, thanks

I think another good white on Lexus is the white on the SC430. one passes by the the other day and it was so pretty. It was of course white, but it was a pearly white. I could see some tind of like a yellow in it and it shimmered some as well. It was the SC before the re-fresh, so like a 02-05? but anyways that the SC 430's natural white and the GS GFM and even the the color that replaced GFM is hott

Morning Frost White! That is HOT!! I'd pimp that. Of course...I'm rather biased towards this type of color.

Yeah, that's a beautiful pearly white paint, they call it Winter Gold in Canada, but was replaced by the current Starfire Pearl.

Thumbs up I thought Lexus made a great frost white. Check out this DBS

Aston calls it "morning frost" but i call it "morning wood"
