can see the dilema now, would brilliant white be too much? you know any one good on photoshop? might be worth trying it out on a couple of pictures first!

Ask them for the RAL codes of the two different shades of white they use, I'm guessing their brilliant white is probably RAL 9016 - traffic white, which I believe is generally accepted as being the brightest white.
RAL colour chart here.

Your local paint supplier will have a colour chart, so once you get the codes you'll be able to check out the colours in the flesh.
