Default Fashion Grey and Chalk/Crayon Side-by-Side
Got a chance to shoot my car with my friends PTS fashion grey RS at a Cars & Coffee event. The difference is very subtle, with Chalk appearing a little lighter.

Subtle but clear difference. I actually like the chalk / crayon in these pictures.

Chalk is very similar to Geyser Grey with no metallic. I like both colors.

Agree with points. Geyser grey without the flakes sounds pretty good.

OP, you did a nice job with this. Both cars look incredible. Congrats on your GT3!

I doubt most people would ever know the difference unless they were side by side.

Looks great!

Here's a few from Liepzig with Chaulk next to white for a reference to those two.

Pic 2 and pic 3 look different. Goes to show you how sunlight alters the shade of grey. Pic 3 is Geyser no doubt.

Fashion Grey (paint frog) looks noticeably darker here as compared to Chalk (wavy plate)

Much prefer Fashion Grey. It looks like a true 'color' to me, while Chalk looks washed out, like it doesn't know if it wants to be white or grey.

Yes, but they're closer in colour than what I thought they'd be.
