When I still had my 335i (alpine white), I parked my IS (ultra white) next to it and was amazed how much brighter the IS was. It made the bmw look yellowish in comparison. I had no idea the difference would be so drastic in white paints, but it is. And I personally think the hardest paint color to keep clean is black.

Same here, when I put my Peal White 370Z and my Starfire Pearl 3IS next to each other, the 3IS looks a little more brighter, with the Z looking more velvet white color (hope that makes sense).
