About white Porsche colors

Porsche whites include Carrara White (and Carrara White Metallic), Grand Prix White, Glacier White Metallic, Chalk, and the warmer Cream White from the classic era. White is the highest-volume Porsche color globally.

History of white in the Porsche catalog

Grand Prix White is closely tied to factory motorsport liveries. Carrara White has been a catalog staple since the 1970s and remains one of the most-ordered colors on every current Porsche. Cream White from the 1960s and early 1970s is now a sought-after restoration color.

Frequently asked questions

How many white Porsche colors are there?

Our database currently tracks 24 white Porsche paint colors, including 2 that are exclusive to the Paint to Sample (PTS) program. The count grows as we document additional historical and PTS-only shades.

What is the most iconic white Porsche color?

Among white Porsche colors, the most recognizable depends on the era — early air-cooled cars, the impact-bumper era, the water-cooled generation, and modern PTS commissions each have their own benchmark colors. Browse the full list below to see them ordered by year and model availability.

Can I order a white Porsche through Paint to Sample?

Yes. 2 of the white colors in our database are part of the current PTS catalog — meaning they're pre-approved and can be ordered on most current 911, 718, Cayenne, Macan, Panamera, and Taycan models for the standard PTS upcharge. See the PTS-only section below.

Do white Porsches hold their value?

Color affects resale on a model-by-model basis. Certain white colors — especially low-production factory shades and well-chosen PTS commissions on GT cars — can carry significant premiums in the collector market. Volume-era white colors trade closer to baseline.

What's the difference between solid, metallic, and special white finishes?

Solid finishes use single-stage paint and have a flatter, denser appearance. Metallic finishes contain aluminum flake for depth and shift in changing light. Special finishes — including pearl, chromaflair, and certain PTS specials — use additional pigment layers for more pronounced color shift. Use the finish filter on this page to compare.
