Is this Morning Frost White vantage coupe?

Hello all you 6speed forum fans
I'm considering a Morning Frost White vantage coupe, stick-shift, black leather
I've seen Morning Frost White on a paint chip but not on an actual car. It seems to be a striking white with hints of blue pearl?
After searching the web, I came across these pictures. Is this Morning Frost White?

Gorgeous - I bet that's the same color as Maserati's Fuji White - and if it looks anything near as great as that you'll have one hot car on your hands....

morning frost/caspian blue with the lower trim in artic blue two tone affect. Make sure you get the grey centred wheels as its an option for 2007.

Morning Frost White is a spectacular ice-white. And it works well on the smooth design of the Vantage coupe. That, coupled with a contrasting black interior, seems like an icy-cool combination

Yes - it looks like Morning Frost

Mine is also Morning Frost and I have attached a picture.

There is no blue in the colour, more a pearl or shell glint, especially in the sun. This is definitely the best colour for the Vantage in my opinion.

Could you tell me where you obtained your pictures, or where they were taken?

The pic was taken at Gevena 2006, I believe.

Gorgeous color!

The colour brief from aston martin says there is a very subtle blue.

Tonyr, are you sure your paint color is Morning Frost White? I know some Aston dealers ordered 06 and 07 Vantages in Ford's pearl white, which is more of a plain pearl white. This was before Aston released the 08 Vantage with the paint option of Morning Frost White.

I agree with Moogle, Aston's color brief does say that Morning Frost White has subtle metallic blue flakes.

If you look at Vincenzo's third picture, the up-close shot of the side vent, you can see that Morning Frost White has subtle metallic blue flakes.

No Blue

My car is definitely Morning Frost, it says so on the receipt. It was registered in April 06 and spent the first 8 months of its life on show in the reception area at Aston Martin's head office at Gaydon. I'm not sure if it was taken to any shows, but it was not used on the track and it had only 56 miles on the clock when I bought it.

Another identical car was built and used at Millbrook for customer demonstrations and training days. This came onto the market just before our car with a mileage of about 6000 miles.

A Morning Frost Vanquish was also built for Dr Ulrich Bez, Aston Martin's CEO. I'll try to attach a picture. This car was sold recently at quite premium over other used Vanquishes by Lancaster at Cambridge.

There really is no blue in this colour. The marketing guy who described the colour may have been looking at photographs where it often looks to have a blue shade in it, especially if there is blue lighting around. If anything the hue is more of a pink, but really it looks like a frosty white with pearly glint.

It's my understanding that a car built in the era of my car would have cost around £3000 more in this colour.
