Those visors color changed - were probably in the sun at some point, my guess.
    The 64 - 66 sun visors were made from the same material as the 356A, B and C. Not grey at all, IMHO. I would describe it as cream or ivory.

    pictures dont really show the difference as clear as when you have them in hands.
    everyone who is sceptical about that those are two different colours is invited to come over and have a look at my parts arcive.
    i even think the grey one is made out of different material since it is still super soft.

    I disagree, once you study all the little parts grey is the real color. Coat hooks, visors, windlace. But people including myself have been doing ivory/cream for years.

    It’s an interesting debate, a number of years ago I figured they were all ivory but nah, not on swb. The perforations is a whole other debate too.

    I agree with you about the coat hooks and visor clips. They start out grey and fade to a more cream color. I'm not ready to say that the visors were grey, though.

    I have noticed that whatever material was used in some soft grey products has a tendency to turn beige over many years or with UV exposure or maybe picking up dirt. Take the grey turn signal seals for instance. I am not saying I am completely right here but I am leaning toward grey more and more these days. For one thing, why would the sun visor mounts, coat hooks be colored grey if the headliner was beige? 66-67 sinvisors are black on one side grey on the other.

    Here is what I have, don't think any of this would help the discussion
