Colnago C64
Ok. I have a chance to buy a Colnago C64 frameset. However upon looking at the colors I have found the one I want has 2 color codes listed—PJWH and PKWH. What is the difference between the codes? Any information will be appreciated.
Thank you
Thank you

Gosh really?? Never heard of Google. If you read the post correctly then you would not have a smart ass reply. I’m asking why 2 different color codes for same color. Is there a difference? I guess unlike you I don’t have 4000+ dollars to send and get the wrong one. But thank you so much for your reply🙄

Going to their website after a quick google search for Colnago C64 it looks like the different codes mean different colors. however those codes you listed are not on their website. however you might just ask your local dealer that you are purchasing the bike from. they probably will know. and if not a local dealer then the authorized dealer you are purchasing from. and if not an authorized dealer skip it and go to an actual dealer.

It looked to me like one was matte and one was gloss but after looking at more photos that might not be the case. On another note whichever mod is editing my posts can bite me.

A related question is: Why does Bianchi have two different Celeste greens? There is the "regular" Celeste and and lighter CK16 Celeste and certain frames (Oltre and Specialissima) can be ordered in either.

Normally with Colnago, the difference is in the accents. Both the frames you mentioned are white (the WH designation) but may have different colored accents. My Colnago only came in one color of white but the black bikes had three different BK color designations; white letters on a black frame, black letters on a matte frame and black letters on a bare carbon frame.

Bianchi Celeste has seen many updates over the years in an effort to differentiate from competitors who try to copy the Celeste color, CK16 is the current "Celeste" introduced in 2016(?), but their the older version is available on their configurator as you note. Also there is a "Moon" version which appears to be a CK16 with an iridescent clear coat <-- this one is my current favorite.

Supposedly per Adrenaline bikes, the below is the PKWH, though to my eye, the accent color looks silver (ie. SL) so I wouldn't bank on it. Wrenchscience also has a way to flip through their color offerings, though none of the codes match what OP is looking for.
