Re: Pearl vs Metallic questions

Well I spent a good portion of the day at PPG talking with one a much more experienced guy. I showed him the panel and explained that I was trying to find an off white that was not a dull tan but something warmer cream hopefully that had some depth to it. I thought the metallics might add the depth. His explanation was to get a metallic to work it has to be a darker color. Once the color gets towards white the metallic flecks arent noticeable, so the pearl is the way to get lighter colors to not be solid and add the interest. Then it got into personal tastes where he didnt like the bright white top and suggested a different tinted white with a much darker greyish color as the bottom half. So as my backup I had also liked the turquoise metallic from 66 and the off white as the combo. Unless there is a metallic cream thats not too yellow or too tan/khaki I can be happy with the turquoise and off white combo.
