Love the color! I would probably opt to not go with the seat belts in chalk because I had a car in my past with a very light gray interior with very light gray seat belts and after a few years there were darker patches on the belts near where it would make contact with your skin. No way to get the stains out either, I tried everything, carpet cleaner you name it.

Also what is that thing? Blind spot warning light?

Had I not gotten a GR SILVER TARGA 4 GTS for my wife a few weeks agai, and a chalk 911 TTS arriving in 2-3 weeks, wouldÂ’ve picked this up. Sharp!
Yes. This is the FG at PWB. Wow, congrats on two 911s.

I've got a Targa GTS arriving late September in Crayon with espresso interior and crayon belts. I was worried the colour looked too white in pics, but in person it is very understated, if that's the look you want! It's really tricky to get a feel for the colour when it's on it's own in a picture, I found the best way would be to compare it with other colours, to identify the grey... otherwise it just looks white!!

The color sold me on the car as soon as I walked into the showroom. I wanted a classic looking color that is a touch subdued. Love it.

I think Chalk is a PTS color for a great price and should be scooped up while available. Here's a link to a car near me with lots of pics. Really amazing color.

I saw the color on several cars yesterday. To me, it's blah. Like my friend said, it's a good color for the ceiling in your house.

Well, coming from a PTS guy....i can see that (yes, your Voodoo is sweet).

I can speak for myself in that I wanted a bit more subdued in my GTS. No boy racer wing, no look at me color. Just pure daily driver that is a bit unique, comfortable, fast and will sound great (Full Akrapovic race exhaust).

Now, in my 992 GT3RS i will certainly go more unique and energetic, when i add to my stable.

So glad Porsche gives us a ton of options

So, is the general concensus grey or creamy beige?
