"White" v.s. "White Pearl"

[menvafaan]

Both these colors are listed under "body color" for the Silo Spec.

What's the difference?

 

[TheBassGuy]

I believe the difference is that white is white, and white pearl is white with little sparkles (metalic like)

ReB87 is pretty much spot on with his color analysis. The "White" is a traditional opaque white. The "White Pearl" does have some tiny specks that really catch your eye when the light hits it. The "White Pearl" is kind of like a brand new car's paint... if you like cars

Anyone have pictures of a "white pearl" guitar, except the ones on the EBMM site?

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Sure do!

You can see the pearl best if you look at the forearm contour area.

I would love to see a Morse in white pearl with a white pearl pickguard.

Glenn, in person the White Sparkle has a darker cast to it than the White Pearl, probably because of the silver flake in the sparkle. I have both colors here, maybe I will do a side-by-side.

Brandt has a Bongo Stealth in White Pearl that looks killer. Check out this thread: http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-basses/35569-bongo-snow-hell-freezes-over-hell-south-louisiana.html

hi , i say its like this pearl white has metalic pink hues and metalic blue hues 'they give it a better stage appearance so when stage lights hit that sucker bam gives it a glow that women cant resist. so yeah pear is the way to go. sure its costly but it will retain its luster for more than a couple of decades. they put a heavy clearcoat on all pearl white finshes this will give it a longer life than plane jane white.

My white JP7 is starting to look all buttercreamy...but I'd go for White Pearl, just for that extra awesome.

 

[RocketRalf]

I've always wanted a white Silo, and WP looks even better! Do you think White Pearl will also fade to cream?

 

[73h Nils]

Hmm, I doubt it. Just because White is already kinda "off-white" to begin with. It's not brilliant white like an Ibanez JEM7VWH. More like an eggshell white. Of course, when you take pictures of it with a flash, it looks straight up white...but it's not.

White Pearl is probably a colour that wouldn't fade/bleach/whatever.
