My understanding is that it had a few names it was known by (Ermine white, Cameo White, Arctic white etc.)

found this buried in another thread.

2 different whites for 1966 Chevrolet
White and Ivory (off-white)

which is more correct and what is everyone choosing?

From another thread:

526 Ivory-Off White (64-66) or also known as Cameo White ( 60-63) is correct for two tone application.

521 White (64-66) or Pure White (55-63) is for an all white truck not available with Two Tone..

Of course you realize this means you will have to start a "paint thread" so we can follow along and see the finished product

If you're not restoring a truck to factory colors, then the sea of whites is at your disposal. I'd submit that while the factory 526 ivory is correct for your original question - if you're doing a non-stock primary body color, you might want to make sure the ivory "looks ok" with it before you start squirting. I think what I'm trying to say is that some non-stock custom primary colors might look better with the brighter white (i.e. code 521 or an off the shelf white). Ivory doesn't exactly go well with everything. If you're using a factory primary color, then disregard this post and definitely use 526 ivory

Looking for some closeup photos between the 2 color points
These photos are too far away to gauge it

Every one of those pics is a link to more pictures, some close up.
