Default Glacier vs Carrara White Picture Comparison

People want to know the difference quite often so here it is. Glacier is on the left and Carrara on the right. To my eye, Glacier is a bit on the gray side while Carrara is slightly off white.

Great, thank you. I ordered the glacier white, but I didn't have the opportunity to see them side by side.

Wow! That Carrara really pops! I think that will be my color if I get the Q7 this fall. Thanks for sharing this.

How does that compare to Tofana White Crystal Effect?

This is my mom's Tofana Q7 that we purchased through SYMAWD in March. The paint is absolutely gorgeous. From certain angles it almost looks like it has a matte finish to it. Up close in the light, it is extremely crystally and metallicy. No regrets getting it. Such a shame that it isn't available anymore.

Thanks. It's hard to find them. Those flakes look really good.

I love the comparison :-) Simple, to the point and everyone know exactly what it means.

I am in the final process of choosing the exterior color,I wanted a darker color but my wife is set on a white SUV,we finally agreed on a white with BOP.We are ordering one with everything except the night vision.Just can't decide on the Carrara white or the Glacier white.The pic from Symawd helps a bit but I want to know which of these two is a brighter white...I am not a fan of creamy white.TIA...Its a pity that Tofana isn't available anymore.

My Q is on order and as well wanted the Tofana. We ended up going with the glacier because I personally think having some metallic in white paint makes it look (less cheap) if that makes sense. I have seen both of them in person and the Carrara isn't bad but i like the metallic so I went with Glacier. I actually like the tone of the Carrara a little better but really wanted a metallic paint.
