Glacier Frost - 074
Starfire Pearl - o77
Crystal White - 062

Starfire and Crystal are quite white, while Glacier Frost is an irredescent colour. (changes colour based on the way the light is hitting it)

This is a question that you can only answer for yourself my seeing the paint in person. Unless the two paints are in the same picture, photographs comparing Glacier Frost Mica and Starfire Pearl/Crystal White are worthless. Crystal White and Starfire Pearl are almost identical, but they are both very different than Glacier Frost Mica, which has a blue pearl effect seen here:



This picture is the best I could find to illustrate the difference between Glacier Frost and Crystal White/Starfire Pearl: (Glacier Frost on the left, Crystal White on the right)
