Guess I need to see it in person. I've seen FG in person and think its awesome, particularly with black wheels.

Thanks for all those comparisons. I think chalk looks like a great substitute for fashion grey. I might still like sport classic grey best (gasp, can't believe I said that!).

Saw a fashion grey cayman at the car show last month with black wheels. Had black exhaust tips as well. Incredible color combo. Really nice shade of grey.

Agree.

Good to finally see the side-by-side

Great photos! I actually like chalk better in the last few pics as fashion grey looks to have a little more yellow in that light. But I may be slightly color blind with light greys so could just be my perception.

I really love chalk, but I think it needs the black wheels, which ends up making this a $6k (CAD) added option over just going with guards red for me. Really hard to justify, unless I'm selling my GT4 and moving to the GT3 as the only sports car I have (which I really don't want).

After having my chalk GTS for a month, I can tell you guys it's a REALLY damn cool color. I've never in my life gotten more compliments or "whoa's" with any other color car I've had. And it does look WICKED close to fashion on a whole car vs a paint frog or plate, totally strange phenomena...

Great pics of the comparison with FG and with the white. Much closer than I thought. Still only one way to appreciate any of the greys and that is real life, in all lighting.

...will it look dumb to get the GT3.2 in Chalk to go alongside my FG GT4? I've exhausted all colour options and nothing really "sings" to me...🙄

I have had a chalk gts for a month. It is my fourth 911. It is the only one that I get thumbs up reactions at stop lights and stop signs. From ten year old boys to guys in other 911s. I was on the fence before I ordered but I am happy now. It's actually quite a discreet colour.

Great thread. Love seeing the pics of Chalk and FG.

My new Chalk 911 is almost at Davisville port on east coast.

Wow! I thought difference was greater, great photos. Not much of a diff to my eye. Actually w/o a car to compare to I would bet 99% would not be able to pick up the difference,
