Ibis white vs Suzuka Grey

Hi Folks,

My second subjective question of the day :)

My wife likes Ibis white and thinks the Suzuka Grey looks "dirty white" from the photos she can see on the web.

Suzuka Grey comes out looking white most of the time on the web depending on the lighting and the monitor I use to display the photos ... or ... to my wife's point, the car looks "off white" :)

For those that have seen both in person, is my wife correct?

I have two 2017 base R8 options I am evaluating right now. Pretty much the same set of options except the Suzuka Grey has diamond stitching but not contrast stitching (which kind of mutes the impact of the diamond stitching, at least from what we can see on the photos). The general condition and mileage is about the same for both cars.

So, crunch time ... where do I put my cash?
You have to see Suzuka Grey in the flesh, as photos just don’t do it justice. Obviously there are also variables with different cameras and then how photos are seen on different displays.

Suzuka Grey does look like an off white when it’s overcast, but I wouldn’t say dirty.

I have an Ibis White 2017 Spyder and love the colour, but currently looking to update to Plus version of the same car (either 2018/early 2019) and holding out for Suzuka Grey in the right spec.
It’s all personal preference of course, but I’d go Suzuka Grey if you have the choice.
