does cam color matter?

I think this may be the one I need: Product Code: 15-121 -- however, my existing broken one has a white cam. I'm attaching photos. It appears to be 9/16" thick, 2" long, and 1 1/4" wide. These windows were installed in 1998 I believe....no idea what brand.....pulte homes.

If your shoe is 9/16" thick and 1-1/4" wide, and as long as the cam slot is 5/16" wide and 3/16" high, then I think the 15-121 can still work for you.

The slot appears to be 3/8" wide. Would you have any other part number suggestions?

The color doesn't matter. The most important part are the dimensions, especially the width and thickness like Tom mentioned. The 15-118 may be another choice, but the cam size may be an issue. Please double check your dimensions. Seeing your pivot bar would also help.
