well pretty simply put, pearl white has a pearl effect to it. Pure white is just plain white.

Good resume. A pearl will reflect a good range of spectral color (pink, red, blue, green.........). A Pure White will be... white.

also pearl white look better, but is more transparent, so you will need white primer ou pure white as under coat :D

You should never use a grey primer under white, or yellow, both are translucent colors which will show whatever you used underneath it.
When I spray white, I always use white primer, then flat white base coat and then top coat, it gives a more 'solid' looking color.

never use gray primer with yellow, red, orange, green or white paint. (don't use gray unless you use a dark color)
