True parker hull color picture

[hori]

Could some please post a pic that represents the true parker off white color as seen in person. I have been looking at lots of pics and some look slightly off white while others look really beige. I have never seen a parker up close and would greatly appreciate a picture that represents the true hull color.

Cheers

For pre-2014 model year hulls it is a true 'sand' color. In some light it is off-white, but from other angles and lighting it looks more beige.

could you post a pic of what you would consider the closest to the true color.
Cheers

It's just a touch lighter than the "off white" selection

Egg Shell White is a VERY close match.

Bear in mind that gelcoat fades pretty readily too. if you've ever removed a decal or registration lettering you can see how much color loss there is, in a fairly short time. My 93 looks pretty white now.

As you will see below, the color shows differently depending on lighting, the camera used, and the ability of your computer monitor to reproduce the color faithfully.
Below are 5 shots of my 1996 2520 MVSC taken with 4 different cameras, on different days, and in different lighting.
I think mine has probably lightened somewhat in the past 18 years even though the gelcoat is in excellent shape.

Gel coat has depth and thickness to the eye compared to paint. ... where u you located? It is difficulty to photograph without using direct, in direct and diffuse lighting and high resolution camera... straight on shots miss the depth part compared to a 22 - 45 degree. Angle shots. M2cw

"like" button . I just want to say the picture with the Golden was a fantastic representation of colors and a great looking dog.
