Most likely L87 Pearl White. That was the white used on most of the range back then.

Paprika red L452 had the following combinations: 57 silver uphostery in cloth, 75 silver beige in leatherette, L87 pearl white wheels, steering column
tube L466 silver beige, gear shift and handbrake lever L467 basalt grey and seat frame silver beige. From this i would assume that the top colour was
pearl white.

The Samba has most of the combinations on one page, some for the Type 3 Ghia. The info below may be of use but only relates to the 1500S Notch.
There is a comment on this page re the roof paint cut-off line on the N was straight and the S was curved.
This is the bit on the Type 3 1500S:

Type 3 Ghia here about half way down :

My info came from the factory spare parts manual that I acquired about 35 or more years ago.(actually back in the late 60's)

The factory colours brochure for the 1960 KG shows Paprika body and beige grey roof, but no paint code listed.
For 1961 and 1962 it has a similar colour roof, with paint code 566, probably Beige grey again.
For reference you will find the colour brochures on theSamba listed under Archives ->Literature -> All brochures for ghia.
Cheers, Pat.

Greg
I've dug out the colour brochure. It is titled "Volkswagen 1200 Karmann Ghia", dated 1962/63 at the bottom. It actually doesn't list Paprika as
a colour, closest is Ruby Red. The brochure is the sort of thing the dealers would have had for customers. I bought it years ago from Europe from
memory.
Pearl White is NOT listed as the contrast colour of any main colour. There are two 'white' contrast colours, 580 and 581. By visual colour
comparison on the chart, 580 is similar to L87, and 581 is a white with a slight blue tone through it.
All available colours listed below, main body colour/contast roof colour. 582 is a black
Anthracite L469/580
Polar Blue L532/581
Terra Brown L571/580
Manila Yellow L560/582
Emerald Green L514/581
Pacific Blue L398/581
Ruby Red L456/582
Black L41/580
Sea Blue L360/581
Pearl White L87/582
There is no name actually given to the contrast colours unfortunately.
I'll be going through the same process with my car, I'm looking at the Emerald Green/581 combination - it was originally Pearl White all over.

I agree with grumble, this is the combination for the 60-62 year coupes (door panel style attached)
(Paprika red L452 had the following combinations: 57 silver upholstery in cloth, 75 silver beige in leatherette, L87 pearl white wheels, steering
column tube L466 silver beige, gear shift and handbrake lever L467 basalt grey and seat frame silver beige. From this i would assume that the top
colour was pearl white.)
The attached colour card (sorry about the distortion)is the correct colour combination for the 59-60 coupe.
Car finish L452 Paprika Red
Top colour L472 Beige Grey
Upholstery hounds tooth P213 Red
Leatherette K335 Stone Beige
(door panel style attach)
Door panels upper and lower parts KsK 32 Fur Grey
Door panels middle part KsK Stone Beige Waffle
Head liner K346B Pearl White
Floor mat Beige
Carpet T117 Stone Gery
Arm rest Ks 49 Stone Beige
Remember I do have this Houndstooth cloth available.

Cars made in 62 after 31st July are 1963 model year, so no factory Paprika cars. Some brochures don't have paprika listed in 1962 either, but
remember there were often different colours available between domestic and export markets.

Some pics would be great, need some inspiration! My '63 is booked in after Easter for a paint job - Emerald Green L514 main colour/Blue white L289
roof.
Looking to keep it standard except for BRMs (matte black repros), an NOS EMPI VDM steering wheel I picked up and possibly the VVDS disc brake
conversion - all bolt-on changes. Just got to get onto the interior details now.
