Default shades of white paint

sorry if this is in the wrong forum... admittedly a n00b :happysad:

i'm getting my 91 rex si painted [hopefully] soon and in the interest of saving some money, its getting repainted the same color as most of the rest of the car (white). i know there are many many many shades of white paint out there... and i have a few that i am considering:

championship white (although it is getting overdone)
98+ prelude pearl white

does anyone know of a stock color (honda/acura or not) that is white with a blue flake in it? if so i either need the paint code or year, make, model, and trim (if applicable)

other suggestions are welcome. i prefer something metallic/pearl over a "flat" white.

thanks for your help/suggestions

c'mon guys, she said shes trying to save money.. adding flakes or doing extra undercoats and stuff is gona cost more money... she needs an OEM color. the painter will get the paint code, and paint it. she doesn't want to spend the money on doing a "custom" paint job right now.

anyone have more practical suggestions??

Personally, i like the Championship white, but i can see you in the prelude white more

EDIT: oh and by OEM color, that can include any Make of car. Just need Make/Model/Year.. thanks

Ooooooo :drool: Maybe a pearl type of white would look good too.
