A light grey solid with subtle blue and green undertones — Dolphin Grey (Delphingrau, codes 6410/W07) is one of the earliest named greys in Porsche's catalogue, introduced as a special color on the 356-C in 1964. Porsche's own PTS page describes it as 'a light grey with subtle blue and green undertones that have a calming effect' with intensity varying 'from very light grey to a medium grey' depending on light. The 356 Service color chart explicitly lists it as one of the new 356-C special colors introduced alongside Sky Blue, Irish Green, and Togo Brown. Its reappearance on a 997.2 GT3 RS in 2009 — and subsequent availability in the PTS programme for the 991 generation — demonstrates the enduring appeal of this historically grounded grey. Colors.rs notes it is 'significantly lighter' than Fashion Grey and also 'cooler,' making it distinct from the warmer period greys.
