Is the Audi Glacier White similar to the pearl white color on the Lexus and Acura?

I only saw the GW on an S4 but it's a unique color for sure. In daylight its very close to white. As it gets darker, you get a slight bluish silver hue on the white. Though it is a metallic paint, it doesn't have a lot of metallic flakes in it. I think you can only really see the flakes in the sunlight.

I have never owned a pearl white lexus or acura, but I certainly haven't noticed this style of coloration on them.

Well played, Sir!

The lexus pearl white has a significant yellow tint to it. The Audi glacier has a blue/grey tint to it.

No, but there are several on the vagtoolfinder database for Florida (Tampa, Orlando, West Palm, Daytona), haven't had the time to check if they are still valid.

Not really

As stated by others, Pearl white has a hint of yellow or cream

The Glacier has a blueish effect but its not noticeable in direct sunlight
