What color is my car?

Any ideas? I thought Grand Prix White but it doesn't seem to be that bright of a white. It's not as creamy as Chiffon either. Maybe it's not a Porsche white?

Any help would be great as I want to get some touch up paint.

There's a zillion shades of white. Good luck.

Very nice car and I have been told that I am no help before....

Take the car to a body shop. Most have a crap load of paint sample boards around. Previous owner paint it?

They can actually read the paint with a hand-held meter at a good paint shop, then mix paint to match.... probably your best bet.

Impossible to say exactly from a photo since lighting conditions, camera sensor and post processing can have a big influence on how we see the color. Not to mention that most of us reading the forum don’t do so from a color calibrated monitor!

+1 on getting a proper color measurement at a paint shop.
