I will be repainting the superstructure on our Channel Island 32 once the better weather arrives. I will be using Toplac Plus because she is currently painted in a white single pack paint and I don't want to go to the trouble of stripping it all off to use two-pack.
Our previous boat, I painted in Toplac plus Snow White, which was a bit TOO white, to the point of being painful to look at in sunshine, so I don't think Snow White is an option. There are other whites in the range, Matterhorn White, Mediterranean White and Oyster White but the online colour charts are worse than useless. I've tried searching for images of boats painted in the various Toplac whites but Google only wants to show me pictures of paint tins, Grrrrr!
Do any of you good people have boats painted in these whites that you could share a picture or two of?
 
Contact International - they sent me proper painted swatches of the four colours I was choosing between, in the correct finishes
 
I’d go Matterthorn personally as it’s a grey white. Most AWBs have “grey” decks.

Oyster is a cream and med is a pink. I’d assume snow is just white.
 
I found when I had a car bodyshop that the white I needed to match GRP was Ford Diamond White which I believe is a British Standard Colour. The Grey which matched the bilges was the same as Massey Ferguson Diesel Engine Colour again a BS Colour as I believe is JCB Yellow, Post Office Red.
