Question how "off-white" is sand white?

I am interested in getting a white 08-09 Cayenne GTS but I don't have a local one to look at. Is the white very close to beige, or closer to actual white? Some images it appears to be ivory/light tan, some images it appears white. I don't want a tan car... Any Sand Beige owners have any more information about how sandy the sand white color is? Hopefully not much!

Thank you!!!

I believe mine is Sand white. It is not tan but also not a bright white.

Our pepper was this color. It is almost a cream white if that makes sense.

I have seem them in the wild and they seem white. Just a creamy white. They dont come across as tan. There are already a couple real versions of tan.

I'd say that this was a fair representation of the colour....I just hope that your monitor is calibrated correctly.

Cream white is a fair description; not beige or tan at all to my eye and I prefer it to a pure "refrigerator" white. Here's a pic of mine.

To me my Sand White 05 Cayenne looks like half and half cream.

I like it on mine. A warmer white as opposed to a stark white. I had the glacier(?) white on a couple of 911s years ago and I like this sand white much better. Seems to take a better shine as well.

Here is sand white next to two "normal" white cars. The off white is subtle, I didn't notice it for weeks after I first picked it up, until I saw it parked next to another white car. This was taken around sunset, so the light is already fading. Possibly a bit more noticeable in full daylight.

looks whiter with dark interior, looks more beige with tan interior... i would say it's white however.. not the nasty "dirty white" ford uses.

Agree 100% with the comment that it is clearly white and the slight cream tone in the white makes it a much nicer white than the "refrigerator" white. Ours has the beige interior and, to me, the interior doesn't make the white look any more beige as compared to one with a black interior (we test drove both).
