I know there is no "Color to Sample" but the Cayenne only comes in 11 colors?

?
also, i have yet to see "sand white" in person but could someone explain the difference between Sand White and Carrera White? (online configuration it looks like dirty white, but the other pictures online of actual Sand White cars it looks Carrera White).. "Sand" refers to pearl maybe? i would think if Metallic White they would have called it that like the rest?

Also if anyone knows of options that aren't on the online configuration i would love to hear them (interior colors, other options) dealer says the online mimics their ordering form, but there has to be some additional "exclusive options" not listed.. like stitching color maybe or other stuff?

In my opinion the Sand white in the configurator looks more like the cream white on the 911 but kinda in between I guess or either as you said, a dirty white. In real life pictures you are right, it does look more like Carrera white. I think overall though, it might be just a tad bit darker/creamier/dirtier, but that is just what I think it kinda looks like from some pictures.
Now I have also heard rumors of a baby blue color for the cayenne to be out in 1 or 2 years? That could be false because a lot of other people also say they never have heard that.
As to other options, I have no idea. I would say go up to a dealer and ask if there are any exclusive options or later options not present on the site IMO (like when they first had the new Cayenne up on the configurator, I know they did not have packages, such as premium package plus or sport package) or someone else could chime in.

here's some real life photos of the sand white:

It's also the same white colour as on the previous generation of the cayenne.
in person I did not notice any "warmness" to the colour, it just seemed like your basic white colour. not much metallic sparkle to it either.

A more 'purer' white would make the Cayenne look like an elephant. Colors like "Grand Prix" or "Alpine" white look nice on small sports cars but horrible on larger vehicles.
Oddly enough, that hasn't stopped GM from using "Summit White" on the 2011 Tahoe.....

im going to go meteor grey because I'm timid about the sand white... they should really change the configuration color it shows and explain the color better imo.

FWIW, I just took delivery on my CS in Sand White. I think Andy got it right regarding he color. This particular shade of white works great on the CS. It's just slightly warm and shows the shine very well compared to a starker white color.

<i>would you say its metallic white, or pearl white... or neither?

Oh, neither, a smooth creamy look. I have owned 2 white 911s and this is my favorite white so far. This is all so subjective I'd suggest you try and find one near Tampa to look at. If you like white, I'd be surprised if you dont like the way this looks on the Cayenne.

Well, allow me to share an answer to my own question after having seen this one in person earlier today.
Imagine Carmon Red. Add a dash of s-t to it, then some metallic et voila! You've got Auburn Metallic. This really is the best way to describe this color.

BTW, whatever was in my mouth while reading your post ended up on the screen...

order was placed, i just went with meteor grey, i was leaning that way but kinda wanted white.. didn't want off white however..
i like the meteor grey better than the panamera grey... only seal grey wins out meteor in my mind.
