When cars were just black it was simple, then we had different colours, still simple. But now my question, what is the difference between mica blue and mica blue pearl? Thanks in advance

Pearl is a process similar to the metallic paint process in nature, i.e it takes the original colour and gives it a bit more zing. Deeper, shinier, more "pearly"

A pearl adds small metallic particles that reflect different colours - a bit like a very fine metallic, but reflecting not just silver.
