A soft, cream-inflected pale yellow — delicate, luminous, and distinctly of its early-1960s moment — Condor Yellow (Condorgelb, code 6010) holds the distinction of being the first yellow ever offered by Porsche on the 356, appearing as a special-order color in 1960 and 1961 on the T-5 B body. The 356Talk forum documents this debut explicitly, noting it appeared with Karmann code 6010 and Reutter code 743, and was replaced by Champagne Yellow (6205) starting in 1962. Rennbow notes it is 'almost indistinguishable' from the subsequent Champagne Yellow, though period forum discussion notes that Condor Yellow reads 'more yellow' than Champagne. As a 1960–61 special-order-only color, it was available to buyers willing to pay the extra fee — the 356Talk thread notes a cost of approximately $107 extra in period. Given its strict two-year availability, special-order status, and the general rarity of well-preserved 356 B T-5 bodies, correct Condor Yellow examples are among the most historically specific colors a 356 can carry.
