White Grey (620), Weißgrau in German under code 620 with cross-reference 75742, is a very pale, warm off-white with a slight grey undertone that positions it between a pure white and a light warm grey — a nuanced, gentle colour whose hex of #C8C4BC confirms a light, slightly warm grey-white with a softness characteristic of 1960s and early 1970s automotive whites. Rennbow specifically notes that Porsche was deeply fond of this warm shade of white, keeping it in the palette until it was supplanted by Grand Prix White in the mid-1970s. It was available on the 911 from 1969 to 1971 and the 912 in 1969, sitting comfortably alongside the broader early 1970s Porsche palette of warm, naturalistic colours. It is not stark, not cream, but a muted, almost chalky tone with a softness that reads as elegant and understated rather than bold. With a rarity of three out of five, original-paint 911s and 912s in this colour are uncommon and require care to distinguish from other pale whites of the era, but a well-preserved example is regarded as a period-correct and appealing survivor.
