Arctic White is good old fashioned plain white. It is very stark, like a clean sheet of typing paper. Alabaster White has a rich, creamy tone. Nevada Jack has the best pictures of Alabaster in the W221 forum. Pictures are never the same as going to the lot and looking with your own eyes.

There wasn't as much of a difference as I thought there would be. While in the lot last week, we could hardly tell them apart without the cars next to each other.

Alabaster White would be an option on ANY ordered, new MBZ... PA-1.
If I were doing white on a new MBZ (and I most likely will be) I would choose the Alabaster White or the Designo Mystic White -- both great choices, IMO.

In the meantime post verification instead of falling back onto the unsubstantiated gooble-di-gook that got you on probation in the first place.

Its called Special Option PA-1. Can order your USA MBZ in virtually any color that MBZ has ever used on a car......
This is only the dozenth time that I have posted this here in the forums.....

Could I possibly be any clearer?

You won't see me posting a scan of an order of mine with the code on it -- that's for sure!
The 'verification' you are demanding can be obtained from a phone call to any US dealer....
Or from any of the hundreds of pics which have been posted on these forums of custom-colored MBZs....
I am trying to be helpful to members who question the ability of odering their US-Spec MBZ in an other than brochure or standard option exterior color -- what are you trying to do...?
The standard option for another color exists - it is called special order option PA-1. Fill in the blank with the color of choice, pay an extra $1000 to $2000 USD -- and you get your new MBZ in the color of your choice. It's that simple....
Have a nice day amdeutsch.
