Ivory White

Ivory White (Elfenbeinweiß, code 9A3) is an extremely pale, near-pure white solid at #F9F7F7 — a colour so close to clinical white that it retains only the faintest warmth, with a barely perceptible ivory tone that prevents it from reading as the cooler, more neutral whites that followed in later Porsche catalogues. The German name Elfenbeinweiß translates directly as ivory white, confirming it as a formulation intended to bridge the warmth of classic ivory and the cleaner, brighter whites of the modern Cayenne era. Code 9A3 appears on the 911 and Cayenne from 2003 to 2007 — placing it squarely in the first-generation Cayenne's colour palette and the 996/997 transition era for the 911. Five documented community examples, predominantly from Cayenne owners, reflect a colour that provided a warm-white alternative to the cooler Carrara White in the period, offering buyers who wanted the cleanliness of white without the slight sterility of a pure tone. Its discontinuation around 2007 tracks with the broader consolidation of the white family in the modern Porsche catalogue.
