BTW I did see Chalk again recently on a couple of cars, and it's close enough that you can hardly tell without cars being side by side (it is indeed a little lighter than FG). Seems like it was designed purposely to be a sub for Fashion grey, minus the PTS rigamarole. Loess's data suggests it's the most popular colour on the .2 GT3 at the moment, so evidently there are quite a few people who found it very attractive.
Coincidentally I saw a chalk 911 S while dropping off the 4S at the dealer yesterday for it’s winter tires. At first I liked it (very similar as many have noted) but the more I looked at it the more it felt a bit too light and too yellow - in some lights they look very simalr but in others noticeably different. I’m probably biased though

It’s definitely a great sub for FG though, and you could do a really nice Touring build with it. I may get a Touring if the allocation stars align, but I don’t want to get off the PTS train, so I *really* hope I can make that happen too. The standard Porsche colours are hard for me to get excited about and it would be weird for me to do Chalk after FG.

nim, have you heard that PTS could potentially be available on the Touring? I've heard only the contrary.

I only saw Chalk inside, and I imagine you may be right about how it looks, especially outside.

Porsche Exclusive told me it’s tentatively planned for February allocations onwards.

I used this thread for inspiration on my 997 S build and did Crayon/Chalk. Love how it changes with the lighting

Thanks for the photos! Cool ride!! Did you do the mods yourself, or did you buy the car that way?
Chalk is a close cousin of Fashion grey, and it would be great to see more cars in that colour on here.

My favorite thread has been quiet lately ; ) — thanks for sharing Clay.0.

Hope you're all enjoying the last days of autumn/fall (assuming you're in the northern hemisphere)…
