Default What kind of pearl paint job to do????

i am about to have my car painted, i was first thinking Pearl White, then i was just thinking about putting a blue pearl into a white color, then i thought maybe a yellow pearl, or something exotic that doesnt make me have to go to the DMV to change the color of the car, i want to keep the color White, but something exotic!!!! is their any such thing as Candy White??? or something like that?? does anyone have pictures of nice White paint jobs with something exotic in it?? i want something that stands out from the rest, and that is original

there was a integra on here that was white with blue pearl... lemme look and i'll find some pics...
i think the blue pearl is to tacky its really fruity looking.

My car is CW w/ gold pearl and it not to bad, the gold really compliments the white..
