I'm a big fan of Fashion Grey. I'm hoping to get PTS on the upcoming 991.2 GT3. Fashion Grey is on my list, but ideally I'd like a colour one or two shades darker. Anyone know an approved colour that would fit that description? Grey Black and Slate Grey are also possibilities but are much darker in photos then Fashion Grey. Slate Grey, not the 615 one is lighter but seems very very purple which I don't want, at least from the pics I've seen online.

Porsche has recently approved 'Nardo Grey' as PTS.
It's darker than 'Fashion Grey / Modegrau' and looks

but you will see the difference between the two colors:

I love 'Stone Grey' but it has a bit of green tint to it,
especially under artificial light. It was an original 356
color from the late 1950's. Just be aware of that if
you choose it.
Stalker99, I think the suggestions above are excellent. I would personally suggest Nardo, as Z356 has suggested, if you are looking or a slightly darker non-metallic grey. Are you also willing to consider metallic greys? If so, consider Grigio Telesto Metallic, for instance. Since you have the time, it might also be possible to start the process with Porsche to get approval for the precise shade of grey that you really desire. It's a bit of a long shot, and honestly it will most likely not succeed, but it might be worth a shot if it gets you exactly what you want and you cannot get the colour otherwise. I see you're in Toronto. Who, may I ask, do you work with? Some SA are very highly involved with this sort of thing. I would recommend Stuart Drummond at Pfaff, as someone to speak with for advice.
Have you seen Fashion grey in person? It varies a lot depending on lighting. Indoor vs outdoor. Midday vs evening. Etc. Under the brightest of daylight, it does look quite light, and especially in photos under these conditions it appears a bit "washed out" even. But overall, it is a lovely grey. I hope you don't discount it completely!

Stone Grey is very nice, but a bit to green for me.
BUT Nardo Grey is perfect, I didn't even think of it. Awesome suggestion, and much thanks.

Good luck!
I looked at Grigio, and love the color but would prefer a non metallic color at this point. I have seen a few Fashion Grey cars, last was a GT4 in the Toronto area. Its gorgeous. But Nardo seems to fit my taste.
I work with Pfaff, Jimmy Lin is my sales guy, great guy to work with.
Very curious if this car is PTS or not. Would have considered it as a cheaper, quicker alternative to FG had it been avaialable. I asked but dealer said it wasn't (they didn't actually check though).
Can't help but think the popularity of Fashion Grey must have inspired Chalk somewhat. Would love to see this car next to a FG one.
Some shots of our Fashion GT3 from Super Street Online article and upcoming European Car Mag article:
Looks good. Like the wheels and the stance. Any videos/soundclips of the exhaust system? Dundon long tube headers with Akra Sports Cup is an interesting combo.
^^^ Nice find. I figured it was a new PTS colour. Curious how it compares to some of the other light grey non metallic shades. Still need the colour code.

I went and built a Chalk car on the configurator — appears the colour code is "3H".
