    Paintwork - what colour is this?

    Struggling to work out what colour paintwork I have:







    Two suggestions so far:

    (a) Sand Beige
    (b) Champagne Yellow

    Any photographs of similar colours (c/w Porsche colour code) or any other suggestions would be appreciated

    Thx

    Martin,

    Looks like beige grey to me.
    The other two are way off the mark.
    Sand beige has more orange(?) in it and champagne yellow is a light yellow.

    HTH,
    Dennis.

    I think Dennis could be right - I've not (yet) seen your car 'in the flesh' & thought from pictures that it had more yellow in it than Beige Grey but it's another of those colours that can look very different depending on lighting conditions.

    For comparison, here's an RS in Beige Grey :

    Andy,

    You're right the colour does seem to change with the light, however the last of my photo's which would seem to match the beige grey is the most washed out image and is probably affected by the black Carrera decals.

    There is definately more yellow (banana) in the mix (as per upper two images), here's some shot's from it's previous life.

    Martin:

    It might be Sahara Beige. Don't have the code, but it was a 356 color and then later a 911 color.

    I'm hoping sooner or later the builder/seller, or UK buyer, of this cool hot rod will confirm the color ...

    But I think Tom F. might be right ... Looks like SC Chiffon White to me as well...

    Cheers

    Not really, I just happened to have seen an exceptionally nice 911SC in that color around town last week.
