I haven't seen the 2012 Birch White/Midnight Pearl combo, however I have seen the 2012 Birch White/Sunburst Red. In my opinion unless you want all Black the Birch White/Midnight Pearl is the best colour especially on the deluxe. The deluxe is all about nostalgia and having seen past black and white two-tone deluxe's that is definitely the way to go. Pull the trigger and welcome to the forum.

You need to see it in person to make your own mind up
It's not a true white, it's off white (birch) but the white wall wheels are true white so the paint on the bike looks dull or dingy
We looked at a 2011 for the wife before she found a fatboy, but neither of us could get over that white just not being a crystal white
The one we looked at was a black and white ( don't know if the black was the same black as 2012) but maybe in another color combo the white would look better, if your asking for opinions mine would be you gotta go see it in person and decide if it works for you as it did not for us

i just traded my sportster 48 in on a 2012 Deluxe in Black. . i know your're not asking about the bike in general but i love it. No pipes or tuners available at all though 
it has an entirely different ecm (2 plugs and smaller) and it has 12mm heated o2 sensors. .
I'm getting ready for 16" apes and i put a black crinkle primary cover, air cleaner cover, and cam cover on it. now if samson will just release the black longhorns for it, i'll be in good shape.
