Default It's white...

The Pearl tends to change colors depending on the light...it can look white, pearl, gold, off white or beige ish depeding on the light. The white is just white, but not a brilliant white...kind of looks like an off white to me.

Yes, it is a warm white (cream) not a cool white (arctic)

Default Not the pearl white - that is a special order

Pearl white - the color that Audi used on a lot of cars over the last decade with a deep pearlescent effect - is a special order not listed in the brochure. It costs around $1200. My wife always loved this color.

The Casablanca white is a glossy white pale cream - not the irridescent deep pearl white.

Default Also...

The new pearl has more yellow in it than the old pearl from the early '90s. I have a comparison pic at home of my '98.5 A4 and a UrS4.

I agree. I would have gotten just a flat, cool, clean, classy white.
