White

White (C9A), Pure White in the Porsche catalogue with auxiliary code 0Q, is a pure, clinical, full-brightness non-metallic white with no perceptible warm, cool, or grey bias. The hex of #FFFFFF defines it as a true reference white. PaintScratch's description captures its character exactly: a straightforward, bright white that offers zero distractions from the car's lines, clinical and neutral in a way that older Porsche whites like Carrara White or Grand Prix White, with their respective metallic shimmer or warmth, were not. Unlike those predecessors, this is a solid colour that presents no challenge of metallic orientation in repair, but demands absolute paint thickness consistency to avoid visible brightness variations. First catalogued on the Cayenne in 2012, it expanded across the full Porsche lineup by 2013 and has been the principal non-metallic white on virtually every current model since — appearing on the 911, 918 Spyder, Taycan, Boxster, Cayman, Macan, Panamera, and Cayenne across more than a decade of production. As one of the highest-volume standard paint options available today, it appears on enormous numbers of current and recently produced Porsches across the entire lineup.
