    I asked this in the vintage section and didn't get much traction, so trying here...

    Speaking about older paint colours here...

    For those of you who know or have seen both in the flesh, is Bianco Polo Park (20-W-152) a warmer white, and Bianco (96-W-157) a cool/neutral white?

    That's how it looks in this photo from 330gt.com, but the colour chart is obviously old and may have yellowed, so just confirming.

    I had one of my Dinos returned to it's original colour of Bianco Polo Park. It is a lovely shade of white that has a very slight tinge of green to it that gives it a nice depth that is lacking in some of the modern appliance type whites that many auto manufacturers use that have more of a blue tint in them.

    Your car looks fantastic!

    A touch of green in Bianco Polo Park? That's interesting. I never would have guessed that. It always appears warm in photos to me.

    Thanks for the description and pic!

    I know that Bianco Avus has a green hue to it, but thought Polo Park was more pure, if not metallic.

    Part of the formula for mixing up Polo Park which is a solid (non metallic) white includes adding yellow and blue tint which gives the very subtle greenish tinge in certain lighting conditions.
