Suggestions on new car paint...

Well, I had a hit and run a year ago and a few months back I finally got eveything resolved with the body shop and got my entire car repainted. And to my luck last week I got another hit and run. My cars a hit and run magnet when its parked. Anyways I'll need to get my car repainted again, since I don't wanna deal with mismatch pearl paint. Plus the last body shop didn't do a great job of repainting my vehicle to the factory nissan pearl white. Any suggestions on car colors? My cars currently pearl white and I like white, should I just go with another pearl white from other cars? Which pearl white do you guys think looks the best? I always thought the Escalade pearl white looked good.

Go to a body shop and look at custom color swatches. You don't need to copy another cars color. Pick something out that YOU like, be different, that's what modding is all about.

Yea, I just need a reference point though. I heard it could be overwhelming to look at like 100 different shades of white. Everything eventually begin to look the same.

White is white. But since you asked I would go with the early 90s lexus white (pearl white?). Not too white and not too cream either.

I don't think i've even actually seen something like what you described. Are there any cars that come out the factory like this?
