A caution.......Porsche offered a color known as Glacier White in the late 1990's on 993's, 996's and Boxster's.
It is a very bright blue-gray white, and was quite different from that period, common 911 Grand Prix White.
Don't mix this and the 356 Glacier Whites up, I had a 993 in this color, it was also difficult to match.

Glacier white from the 1950’s is a mint green. Very distinctive.

Juha, I had a 1965 SC that was light ivory code 6404 elfenbien. I got the single stage 22 line from Glasurit that matched the original paint on the dash very well. They have an extensive color formula data base for Porsche colors dating back to the 50's. Elfenbien is a slightly cream colored white not like pure white. Any paint supply house can mix you a pint of either white and see how you like it.
Hope this helps,
Jim

As Richard said Glacier White is a mint green: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1959- ... 600-coupe/ You can get a paint card from Willhoit

The Ivory R504 paint card you can get from Willhoit is perfect. Use that as a reference.
