White Gold Metallic (539), Weißgoldmetallic in German, is a warm silver-gold metallic that occupies the rare territory between pure silver and pale champagne — a finish with perceptible yellow-gold content that prevents it from reading as a conventional silver while remaining too pale and metallic to read as gold. Rennbow describes it simply as a warm silver with a touch of yellow gold — an apt summary of a colour that catches the light beautifully on the rounded body lines of mid-1980s Porsches. The hex of #CBBAA8 confirms a warm, light-medium greige-gold. The colour shares its code with the White Gold also used as a wheel colour on the 997.2 GT3 RS, where forum discussions confirm it as Weißgold 539, suggesting a long cross-application life within the VW Group's broader catalogue. It appeared on the 911 Carrera in 1985–1986, the 928 in 1985–1986, and the 944 in 1985. With a rarity of four out of five, surviving mid-1980s 911 Carreras and 928s in this shade are genuinely uncommon, appreciated by enthusiasts who value the warm, refined character it brings to the G-body Carrera and the 928 of that era.
