Default Whites - Carrara vs. Tofana vs. Glacier vs. Ibis?

I have two white Audi's, so I am well aware of the metallic Glacier vs. the flat Ibis. And, my wife's synopsis is that Glacier is more "LED Christmas lights" vs. Ibis "warm white". :-) But, where does that leave Tofana and Carrara? Let me say, I really don't like "cream" whites... and want something bright white.

Is the Tofana (now no longer an ordering option) and Carrara a "warmer" white such as the Ibis? Or even more "off-white"? Am I hearing it right that the Carrara is a flat paint replacement for Ibis?

I am looking for a Q7 white that matches in the closest way to my Ibis A4.

Out of all of them Ibis is the whitest to my eye and Glacier is the grayest. Carrara is an ever so slight off white and Tofana is whiter than Glacier but not as white as Ibis.

You can still find one, just can't order it.

I thought they had moved Tofana White to Audi Exclusive.

We take delivery of our ordered Tofana White Q7 in about a week and a half :-)

Did they ever say why they took away the Tofana White from regular ordering?

No, but my guess is that the crystal effect added time to the production and they are trying to build as many Q7s as they can.
