This is great, thank you for posting. Having spent a lot of time around sports classic gray, and considering how much lighter chalk is in comparison… I'm concerned this color would just look like dirty white after all… to my eyes, sport classic gray is just dark enough to look like it's own color, and not some version of off-white. This confirms that chalk is out of the running for me.

Great comparisons. Really thought Chalk was a lot closer to Fashion Grey. Thank you.

This is why I said Chalk is very similar to Suzuka Grey (Audi)

I can assure you Chalk is no where close to Suzuka Gray.


First of all, Suzuka Gray is metallic and Chalk is non metallic so there is really not too much comparison to start there.


Second, we drove a Panamera Turbo Chalk next door to Audi put it between a Nardo Gray RS7 and Suzuka Gray R8. The result is that it is no where close to Suzuka Gray (but yes, still lighter than Nardo Gray).


Alexio, go see it in person as the whole car. I've talked to at least 30 people who's seen the chalk car now and not one person has mistaken it for a cream color or off white color.

apparently the closest color to this looks to be avalanche for ford GT models and the raptor. It looks great IMHO but needs the dark accents to really set it off.

It's dealership lighting so I'd assume yes. I did take a couple of samples in my car though (but only of chalk) when I drove around with it to put it in different lights. It really does darken considerably. I'm now really trying to find someone who has seen sport classic grey vs fashion now, because that will let me really gauge how light or dark in comparison.
