Default Are Crayon and Chalk the same for interior leather?

Trying to decide on interior leather color. Based on the configurator, I chose chalk (to go with Dolomite Silver). SA told me that Chalk was almost white and I wouldn't be happy with it. Went to closest dealer to look at colors and they had something I liked: Crayon. Told the SA that I really liked Crayon but that wasn't an option in the configurator. He told me that Crayon is the UK name for Chalk. Anyone have experience with a Chalk interior (preferably on a BGTS but I'm guessing it's the same color no matter the model.) Thanx to all in advance. Want to "ensure" I'm making the right choice since my options for light interior colors are so limited.

Crayon is indeed the UK name for Chalk.

It is a great color and after 7 months and 6,000 miles mine still looks new.

Thanks. Photos make it look grey; SA says it's white. What's your perspective?

This.

To illustrate, here is a piece of bright white paper against my chalk leather and silver trim.
