I believe tungsten pearl is a silver color. It looks more like a Glacier frost mica, since it has a blue tint. Might just be the cameras white balance though.

Look at the door jamb placard. It should say something like C/TR and then the color code.

they didnt tell you the color when you bought it?

i think the color code is on the inside of the door. but if they said it was "silver" then its probably tungsten. if they said it was "white" then it could be starfire pearl or

check here:
Paint Code Location

and here for the paint code reference sheet.

good luck and welcome!
