"White" is what "Carrara White" used to be.

Actually, "White" is more "cold" than Carrara White, which was a touch creamier in color.

I believe the top pic is the older non-metallic carrara white, not the current "white". The current white is a truer white.

Agreed. The current White is in between the two.

It's true. My 964 is Carrara white and it is a creamier color than the regular white.
