Default Brightest White?

I am repainting my car and am looking for the brightest white. GPW is a nice color, but I want something even cleaner. My choices so far are Subaru Aspen white, Chevrolet Arctic White, Ford Oxford White, and Toyota Super White. If you know of the whitest of these or a brighter White than these, your input will be greatly appreciated. To the GPW owners out there...What cars have you parked next to that are a brighter White? I want a straight gloss white with no pearl or metal flake.

(If you have pictures of a GPW next to another car that would be helpful)

The Lexus LFA comes in a color called Whitest White... you could try calling a Lexus dealer for the code.

Toyota Super white seems to be the purest white in my eyes for some reason.

Paint suppliers have code books with model year listings, they will be able to match the color perfectly without any outside help. Just tell them the model and year and color name and they can make it.

If you want the whitest of whites, just ask for a can of base white and dont add any pigment.

The problem with doing that is pure white with no other pigments added actually looks duller than a white with a little blue or yellow added. The blue makes the paint look brighter. A straight white looks dull in comparison.
