Designo Diamond White Metallic

does anyone have a car in this colour and could it be described slightly cream in colour?
I had a look at a car today and the wing mirrors seemed a slightly different colour to the body work... thanks!

My last car (2017 W213) was in this colour and, as you state, it is more an off white than bright.

The difference in colour tends to be a lot more noticeable in the door shuts/under the bonnet etc where the sun doesn't seem to get to it. Not too bad on mine as it was relatively low mileage and garaged but I have a friend with a W212 and his definitely has a few different shades where the sun hasn't reached.

Seems to be just another "one of those things".

Thank you for confirming that I’m not going totally mad... looks like another question for the dealer... appreciate your help...

Don't totally discount it totally for a few subtle differing shades, it's a stunning colour when the sun hits it.

Also, white is an absolute utter pig of a colour to match batch-to-batch and across different substrates… yellow to cream to blue to green (apparent) relative shades but they’re all still obviously white..!

Thank you all for your further points and agree it’s a stunning colour and awful to colour match!
I couldn’t sleep so went back today to have another look... it looks fine and has that hue, but I still think it might be a re-spray to get it looking it’s best, especially if there had been any stone chips... the reason I remain skeptical is that it’s fairly sharp and rough in the corners on the underside of the bonnet... I have been comparing it to other mercs around and they are not sharp.. it looks as if you could pick it off... I have attached some pics... what would you think?
