White paint code

The code is printed on the car's option sticker and on a VIN build sheet. Porsche has reused some names with new codes as paint formulas changed, so the code is the reliable identifier.

Frequently asked questions

What is the paint code for Porsche White?

White has carried Porsche paint code C9A (Modern solid White, about 2012– (sticker 0Q)). Porsche reuses names across eras with different codes, so match the code on the car's option sticker or build sheet rather than the name alone.

Which Porsche models and years came in White?

Our sources list White on the Cayenne (2012–, standard color), 911 (991/992) (2014–, standard color), Boxster / Cayman / 718 (2014–, standard color), 718 Cayman GT4 RS (2022–2025, standard color), 718 Spyder RS (2024–2025, standard color) and Macan (2015–, standard color), among others. If you see it on a model or year not listed, it may be a Paint to Sample order or a respray — the build sheet for the VIN shows which.

Is White a Paint to Sample color?

Our sources list White as a standard color rather than Paint to Sample. Porsche's Paint to Sample program can still apply many past colors to new cars, so a recent car in White may be a PTS order.

How common is White?

In US new-car inventory on October 22, 2026, 731 of 5,149 new 2026 Porsche Macan listings (14.2%) were listed in White; it also appeared on Cayenne (11.9%), Taycan (11.2%) and Cayenne Coupe (10.1%). Shares come from dealer-listed color names, which are not always exact.

How can I tell if a Porsche is factory White?

Read the paint code on the option sticker (in the maintenance booklet and, on most models, in the front luggage compartment) or on a build sheet for the VIN, and compare it with C9A. A matching color name alone does not rule out a respray or wrap.
