I just had to take a second trip through this thread. My 22' Chalk GT4 gets delivered first week of May and I cannot wait! The first time I saw chalk it was on a 991.2 GT3 and i knew at that moment it was the color for me! So stunning and it definitely shows itself different depending on lighting and angle.

Sorry! I remember how hard choosing the colour was, but I am still very happy with my choice.

Here is my GT White Spyder doing an impression of chalk. In Seattle we have this lovely layer of gray in the winter and my car was in a shadow. It just wants to join the crayon club 🥸

Great visibility and views today of the entire LA basin from the Malibu area.

Great "crossover" colour Jeff, welcome to the club!

@Denny Swift is going to be jealous!

Wow, although a beautiful afternoon on the south island, it didn't look quite that inviting!

It was freezing this morning when I got started at 6:30 am. But it was fun with the top down, heat cranking out at max, knit cap and gloves on listening to Christmas music.

this is such a vibe! Super jealous! I’m just here in envy as I wait for an allocation! Do enjoy! Malibu is beautiful! And the roads in the hills are awesome!

Went to cars and coffee this morning with my son. Weather was 38 degrees as shown on the car when we rolled out of the house. We still drove top down, beanies on, heat on max and fan on max, with jackets. Son brought a blanket too. All was good and drive home top down was a nice 65 degrees and clear skies. Can't beat SoCal weather.

Beautiful spot for your picture.

No scenic background, but slightly overcast skies made for some nice reflections that IMO enhance the lines of the car.

Awesome pictures, thanks for sharing, the tonal quality almost makes them look B&W, in this light the lines of the car are so clean, the Satin Platinum wheels actually pop.

Westcoast, what did you use for your front plate install? Any noticeable effect on cooling? Also looks like you angled the plate down.

Chalk is such a chameleon color based on the light for sure! Your car always looks good!
