Nardo Grey vs Pearl White

Peinture comparison · updated août 2026

Nardo Grey (#6B7078) reads darker than Pearl White (#E9E6DE), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Pearl White lifts them. Both render in gloss, satin or matte, so the finish is a separate decision from the colour and you can try either one in all three. Body shape, paint condition and the light you shoot in move both colours further than a swatch chip suggests. Seeing them on your own car settles it, free, in a couple of minutes.

Nardo Grey vs Pearl White: the differences.

The first difference between Nardo Grey and Pearl White is depth: Nardo Grey reads darker, so it hides body lines that Pearl White shows. The second is not the finish: both are available in gloss, satin or matte, so the sheen is a separate decision from the colour. Low light, curved panels and your own trim decide the rest, and none of that shows up on a swatch. Render both on your car and compare them there.

Side by side.

Le Nardo Grey est un gris mat, presque désaturé, qu'Audi a rendu célèbre sur ses RS et qui est depuis devenu l'une des teintes les plus demandées en peinture complète comme en covering. Aucun effet métallisé pour accrocher la lumière : il tire vers le béton brut en plein soleil et descend presque au charbon sous les nuages — c'est exactement pour ça qu'il flatte les lignes tendues et avale les formes molles. Juge-le un jour gris, c'est là qu'il passe l'essentiel de sa vie.

Le Pearl White est un blanc cassé nacré : il glisse du crème à l'argent avec un soupçon de bleu selon l'angle où tu te places. Il est bien plus doux qu'un blanc uni et masque mieux les petits défauts, au prix d'une réparation panneau par panneau plus délicate et plus chère. Il passe bien en photo dans presque toutes les lumières, et c'est une bonne partie de la raison pour laquelle on le voit partout.
