A pale, sandy beige solid with a light, warm character that evokes the natural color of undyed cashmere fiber — lightweight and delicate rather than earthy, suggesting luxury through restraint — Cashmere Beige (code 502) was available on the 911 SC in the late 1970s as a special-order option. PaintRef confirms code 502 on 1979 Porsche models. The hex #D4C5A0 places it in light, sandy beige territory with warmth. Cashmere as a luxury textile reference signals refinement and quality over earthiness — this is a beige that aspires toward elegance rather than utility. The 502 code places it in proximity to other late-G-model special beiges. For 911 SC specialists, a documented Cashmere Beige example represents one of the more unusual and aesthetically unusual specification choices of the period, appealing to collectors who value understated originality over conventional period-correct colors.
