A warm, creamy off-white with subtle peach and beige undertones — more whisky-ivory than pure white, softer and more organic than Grand Prix White — Chiffon White (Chiffonweiß, code 182) takes its name from the delicate, semi-transparent fabric associated with feminine elegance. Rennbow describes it as having 'a gentle, creamy radiance with hints of pale champagne in sunlight.' Factory records confirm the code 182 on the 911 SC from 1981 to 1983, the 911 Carrera in 1984 and 1985, and the 928 in 1981, 1982, and 1984. It then reappeared on the 996-generation 911 from 2005 to 2007 — one of the relatively rare cases of a period Porsche color returning to the standard palette after a two-decade absence. The 2005–07 reappearance suggests a deliberate evocation of period nostalgia, and the color's Rennbow rarity score of 7 reflects its minority status across all appearances. It is a color loved by enthusiasts who prize warmth and visual gentleness over assertion.
