    Asking this here because I generally get better answers to vintage related questions...even if they're primarily about paint.

    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 so just confirming.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Can anyone weigh in on the characteristics of these whites?

    Bianco - Cool/Neutral?
    Bianco Polo Park - Warm white? (But still a fairly pure white?)

    Does that seem correct to those of you who know these colours or is this chart discoloured from age?

    Pininfarina says my Series III GTE was originally Bianco and the color code they gave was as bright a white as you can find. However, the paint on the dash and behind the trim and seats had a cooler, maybe slightly gray tone. Much better than the Refrigerator white they spec'ed, so that is what I went for. It would be interesting to hold that color sample up to my car.

    Can't speak for Bianco Polo Park, by the way.
