Cotillion White is more a Stark White where as Palais White is more a Creamish White. Cotillion White is like a white wedding dress (just to put a colour in your mind).

You can see it in the photos below, but it is a lot more noticeable standing there looking at them.

100% right LX8VD77
Cotillion white is a cleaner white. Palais white has a splash of cream in it. I painted my hatch Palais white but it is flareless. The A9X 4 door pictured next to the hatch is a club members cars and is obviously Palais white. They look very different parked next to each other.

It looked like Palais White. Thanks for the correction.

I'm still trying to work out how supposed men can tell the difference between whites?

I mean c'mon, next you'll be discussing whether its orange or pumkin in colour :stirpot:

Try spraypainting mate.

Theres more different shades of white than any other color, and its the hardest to match.

Cheers.

From man rules

1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

Bomber, it's hard to believe but there are more whites and blacks that ANYONE realizes!! I must admit I was blown away when I first was involved with paint and learnt that!

Its noticeable when shown together. When individual whites (not creme's) are shown, they bloody hard to pick apart.
My original SS is Palais White and I think it looks very clean. Its not overly stark and shallow like some whites.

Camera is facing forward :blink2: With tilting LCD screen it makes it easier for high shots.
Then again, I'm not all that tall :sad:

Cuts out the guess work.

And lets not get into the gloss, semi-gloss, flat, matt, satin discussion.........
It's funny that women can understand 4 bazillion colours but can't understand different finishes........

A run for the kiddies would be awesome, but I think RMH would have to organise it themselves and bear the insurance.

I hope it gets fixed up quickly for you. Very tidy car!

Pity the dirty old ute is in the way!!!
