Default Chalk interior photos?

Want to be sure I'm making the right choice for my build (BGTS, Dolomite Silver). SA says it will look white so I wanted to see what existing builds look like and get your opinion. Thanks!

Default Chalk Interior

Sorry, not a Boxster, but here are a couple of pictures of a black/chalk interior on a 2017 Panamera 4S. The color is close to white, but not quite the same. "Chalk" is an apt description. After 4 years, I have not had any problems keeping it clean, or getting stains on it, or it showing any signs of wear, and it still gets compliments.

Default Chalk/black

Here you go! Had my '17 Base for 2 years and the interior still looks new! has a very light gray look next to the Graphite Blue paint. Should be the same on a Silver car.
"Classy" and "Elegant" are most of the comments....

Has anyone seen a photo of the chalk interior with the brushed aluminum trim? I suspect that would look stunning.

Pics of chalk with aluminum trim were posted a few posts back. I have the chalk interior with aluminum and love the look.

Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me I believe those are of the standard trim, I was looking for the brushed aluminum upgrade; it doesn't appear to be a very popular option.

That's my car! I can attest that the brushed alloy is fantastic and goes well with the Crayon interior. You can feel the texture of the brushed finish and it looks 100% like metal. Just brings it up a notch IMHO. One option that seems to get overlooked, and might I add it's free on GTS, is the brushed alloy gear lever which then ties it all together. The leather boot is then matched to your interior which is also a nice touch. In my case, graphite blue boot.

I Google these things and sometimes I get pictures, lol. So thank you for taking it and making it available. The brush aluminum does not seem to be that popular. I actually got to see it yesterday; it looked and felt amazing to the touch. I am thinking of getting it with the black & chalk interior in my GT Silver Cayman. Spoke to my SA yesterday and he said it's a combination he's seen in person and it really pops. I was originally going to get the Black & Luxor interior which is a warmer but is an unusual mate to GT Silver. Fortunately I still have some time to think about it.

You will not regret it! `Don't forget to pair it with the brushed allow gear lever. Free on GTS and not that expense on the other trims. Oddly enough, they offer the brushed interior trim on the Spyder but not the gear lever. No idea...

I don’t see the Interior trim painted in Gentian blue. It looks silver.
