OEM White Colors?

Regardless of years; what OEM white colors are there?

I know there is GPX and Chiffaun, but beyond that are there any?

My SC is a combination between Chiffaun and GPX, and the PO paid bux for this job as it's pristine and I don't believe there was any taping...all removal and replace. - which lends me to belive it's an OE color, but maybe not OE to 79?

Thanks anyone/everyone!

Also Light Ivory and Medium Ivory. Not sure what years they were used on though. My '76 is Medium Ivory but was told that was a paint to sample from a '72 color. Medium is more yellow than Chiffon and Light is more like an eggshell color although I have never seen it other than pictures.

I had 2 "light Ivory" cars...a '69 912 and a 1970 911T...both were daily drivers. Strange as it sounds, it's a very easy color to keep clean looking, hides dirt well.

Light Ivory? That may be the ticket; going to research that color somewhat...

I'm thinking you mean Chiffon, Jeff... or is 'Chiffaun' the German spelling?

I bought your rear decklid and agree that it's not GPX white.

Hey Thanks Tcar; but isn't Chiffaun a little more yellow than the decklid? Hope it's treating you well!

There was also "Linen", but I believe it was only available on the mid/late 3.2's:

Eric, beautiful color, but mine is a little yellower, or did the color just come up that way on the pic?

Here is the link to mine before I put a duck on it (an am repainting the front from a renegade wheel bearing vs. my headlight and bumper).

My '71 is light Ivory. I'm a white car guy and in my opinion the Porsche light ivory is the nicest shade of white I've seen. I forget the paint code for it.
