Default Is there pearl in cyber gray paint in 2010?

I had the car in the sun the other day, and there was a pearl like color in the paint. I'm color blind so can't tell you what colors were there but definitely pearl.

There's a little bit of a pearl I guess (it is a metallic color after all) and quite a bit of blue.

Metallic is different than pearl, (as you probably know) but Thank You, blue is what I was hoping for.. not purple ;-)

In the right light, you will see blue, purple and green as the car passes by.

I cannot say for sure, but I would think not. When you start getting into the pearl and metallic colors GM usually charges a premium for those colors. Maybe check with a good quality paint shop for sure.
Not saying there is not any blue or purple in the paint mixture, as I had a 2001 Torch Red and in certain light it would have an orange appearance more then red. There was not addition cost for Torch Red, but I now have a 2007 Monterey Red Metallic and it was an additional $750.00.

A pearl like color in the paint, Does not say it is pearl and that is why he is asking.

Just a guess again not a definite answer.

Still don't see were in this post that there was a definite answer that pearl is in Cyber Gray. But it really does not matter if it is or is not, as long as the OP is happy that is all that really matters.

Funny, I was just looking over my "window sticker" tonite and noticed they charged extra $300 for "SuperSonic Blue", guess I'm pretty special huh lol
It is a great looking color IMHO and I'm not a blue kind of guy.
