Does anyone know the difference in Polar White and Artic White?

I have not seen Polar White in person and was wondering if it is exactly like Arctic White. I dont like the creamy white color on cars and was wondering if polar white is creamy or not. I know arctic white is creamy white, but hopefully polar white is more blueish.

Polar white is like vanilla white. Whereas, arctic white has a bluish touch to the color

Polar White is a whiter white if that makes any sense.

Arctic white is colder than Polar white...
Wait a sec, or is it the other way around?


How bout Frozen white vs Icy white?
Chilly white vs Cool white
Frigid white vs Freezer white

We can have an entire undercard of whiteness...

Now for some black names...
Midnight Black vs. Tunnel Black
Cave Black vs. Blackout Black
Dolomite Black vs. Radical Black

I'll take a C63 Dolomite Series in Dolomite Black with Dolomite Tint

Polar White is frozen salt water, has a blue hue to it. Arctic white is frozen fresh water, and has no hue to it.
I hope this answers your question?

Polar white is not creamy, it is just a bright white. Diamond white is more creamy with its metallic texture!

Isn't Polar White the only choice for C63's? Mine's Polar White. Maybe it's an available choice in the sedan...but I don't know for sure. Polar White is bright, not creamy (not subdued). That's the only way to describe it.

Yes
Whitest to least:

Polar = whitest, brightest white
Arctic = your standard car white
Diamond = metallic, looks a bit creamy from angles but still white

Polar White is the newest white color, without metallic, that you can get a C63 in. Arctic White was the old white that is no longer available. So, is the question still relevant?

My 2010 C63 was Arctic White and my 507 is Polar White. To be truthful, it's very hard to tell what the change was and I don't notice much of a difference. Marketing, who knows? All I can say is that my car is a solid white. No frills, just an intense, deep white color.

Color is subjective after-all. But since you can't get Arctic anymore....................

Polar White is like the white of North Pole. Arctic White is from the white of the South Pole. Gad, I thought you guys would figure that out by now.....
