^ that by far is the brightest white OEM color I have ever seen.... I saw a few Audis around town in that color and they just blinded me at how bright the white was, noticeably different than BMW Alpine White which is widely considered the brightest OEM white, that is until Audi came in and took the cake
Lexus Starfire Pearl and the other whites Toyota uses on the Venza as well aren't pure white, they're white with a hint of black, looks nice but not the way to go if you want pure white.
my custom paint job is as white as it gets, I'm talkin cocaine white, I love the color

was told the ibis white has a touch of blue added to "brighten" it. not sure how that works as i am no paint expert but that is what I was told by the body shop.
wanted that "you gotta squint at night" brightness.

yup a touch of blue definitely brightens the white a lot, it's as white as you can go... if you look really closely at the pictures of my car here the whole car is Balloon white which is white with a hint of black.
But I have a few different bumpers and I painted some a different shade of white for testing purposes... and right now the front bumper I have on is white with a hint of blue, and if you look really closely you can tell it's one shade whiter than the rest of the car, and the rest of the car is already super duper white
