I just had a look in Lyndon's cc spec page. Aegean Blue is listed as a Pearlescent color
and not a metallic one. What does "Pearlescent" means ? What is the difference between them ?

Pearlescent colours look like the surface of a pearl, whereas metallic colours look, well, metallic :smile:

Pearlescent can be considered multiple toned. That is it looks different in different angles of light. For example the Aegean blue looks a lot darker in dull grey weather but when the sun pitches on it is lighter.

Metallic is more of a "glittery" type. I.e it has a nice shine but always looks the same under differetn lighting.
