Thanks so much. Yeah, I'm assuming Chalk/Crayon is much closer to white given the name and the leather of the same name (which is very light).

I've seen Agate leather in person, it's a brownish grey to my eyes (the SA also described it as such). Might be too many greys : ) Thanks for the photo of the Espresso. It looks a lot lighter in daylight.

I think I'll just go with black as I want black elements on the exterior and I know it'll work.

Thanks for all the tips on fashion grey examples in the area. Maybe I'll get to see one but starting to think I should just roll the dice : )

My pleasure!
​​​​​​​Black and fashion grey ftw!
Also the grey and espresso look has been done on the sport classic 997, so it's not bad either.

Repost of some comments from the the Story Behind the PTS thread:

The 10 Fashion grey cars came next, with the spec as described earlier in this thread. These were built in April 2015, but 2 were delayed to later builds (May and June 2015) due to customization. We have already seen anonymous918's photos of his spectacular car with PCCB, lots of interior modifications, and even satin black wheels! It is just gorgeous. But there was one other Fashion grey GT3 that was heavily modified too, and I didn't appreciate the significance when I first saw it! I spotted it at Rennsport Reunion V, and it was on display at Werks Reunion 2016 too, where it took home honours for the owner (I'll refer to him as Mr. G). This latter GT3 is the most expensive and most customized of all 30 extra cars, and has PCCB, lots of extra leather, CXX options including black side mirrors and black wing, and even buckets! This makes it very rare amongst the 30 for having been fitted with LWB (there were only 2 among the 30, with more on that later), and only the 2nd Fashion grey GT3 in the world (that I know of) with this option, mine being the other. There are also only 3 Fashion grey GT3s with PCCB (mine and these 2), and also the same 3 are the only known Fashion grey GT3s with CXX customization! I'm very honoured to be in the company of these 2 very special Fashion grey PTS GT3s!!

Here is my photo, and another not mine, of Mr. G's Fashion grey GT3.





Unfortunately, there are at least a couple of the Fashion grey cars that remain unaccounted for, and so if anyone has more information about them, please chime in as I'd love to know more about them. Amongst the known cars, 2 have also undergone some amazing transformations, including one by farfromcommongt3 (bronze wheels, wingless deck lid, etc, etc), and one by BBiAutosports & Supreme_Power (Cup hood and fenders, cage, wheels, etc, etc)!

Went to the dealership yesterday to finalise my build and they happened to find their PTS samples. They had a small selection of popular PTS colours including Fashion Grey and a couple of other greys. I thought it might be of interest to post them. The other two are Grey Black and Slate Grey (Metallic).

Fashion Grey was exactly as I imagined (based on people's descriptions here). It really does have a tendency to take on other hues like green or yellow. The sample didn't help make up my mind but I went ahead and ordered it anyway : )

Thanks nim! Any luck finding a fashion grey car to see?

BTW, if you can find out more info on the slate grey metallic, can you please let us know and post the colour code from Porsche for it? The last PTS approved list I've seen does not list a slate grey metallic (slate metallic was not approved).

Default Oops, probably not Slate

Yeah, sorry, I think in my Fashion Grey excitement I confused myself. I saw the Grey Black and assumed it was Slate (it's definitely Grey Black I checked). The metallic one might be Atlas? I'll double check next time I'm there.

I have not tried to see a Fashion Grey car in person yet. Fgured I'll just go with it 😬

NIM,
I am in NYC. Happy to show you my Rennsport Reunion. PM me if interested. As you can see from the pictures the color really changes depending on the light.
