Porcelain - White or Beige?

I am trying to buy an SL550. The local selection is limited, so I'll probably be buying cross-country. I like the look of the Porcelain / Black interior in pictures, it looks white in most pictures. Now, though, I see that in the 2017 brochure, in addition to Porcelain, there is Platinum White and Deep White. I'm wondering, is Porcelain actually white, or a very light beige? If you got into a car w/ Porcelain leather, and someone asked you what color it is (without having anything whiter for comparison) would your first impression be white or beige?

It's a very light beige. The white interiors are undoubtedly white, whereas you could consider porcelain to be a very unsaturated beige.

It’s a very light beige. Photo in my 2020 SL550 with porcelain interior.

what's "295s"? does "Muffler delete" make it just loud or does it sputter and pop as well?

I'm running 295-sectoin rear tires instead of the stock 285. I got the middle mufflers cut out for a small increase in volume. It burbles on downshifts now, but it's nothing obnoxious.
