Default Picture of "Chalk" in the sun...

Took these today. Compared what I saw vs the photo and they are accurate. Not a color for me. No way!! It looked like the color of my grandmothers refrigerator. It looks gray inside and "almond" in the bright sun.

Maybe Chalk gets renamed to "Grandma's Fridge Metallic"

There is something very plastic-y looking about Chalk that I don’t like.

Porsche hasn’t hit many/if any home runs with any “recent” color offerings in the 991 Carrera generation.

They must use color consultants from Martha Stewart.

Personally I like it....Very similar to my Avalanche Grey Raptor...."White" in the sun and "Grey" at dusk....luckily for those that don't they offer other colors!

I really really want to like this color. Flat greys are usually my favorite color on cars (fashion, slate, nardo, grigio telesto, etc.). But I saw a chalk in the sun for the first time last weekend (on a panamera turbo) and something just wasn't right. I think it's the cream appearance. I'm hoping I will like it more on a GT3.

Like I said, it doesn't know if it wants to be white or grey, so it splits the difference like almond milk.

I honestly think someone at PAG thought up both Chalk and Graphite Blue Metallic as a goof on Porsche customers to prove they'd buy anything that they were told is cool. I still think River Yellow PTS is coming one day.

I had the same reaction to chalk on a Panamera. On a 911, it's great. Ordered.

I agree.

White and grey makes a lighter grey. This hideous color gets beige thrown in. Mooty called it a hilarious name if I recall correctly.
