Chalk's an odd color and I think photos will be misleading. There's been one GTS (coupe) at my local dealer for a long time, it looks white-ish outside but now they have in the showroom it looks gray. So just by human eye it varies greatly, I feel pics would not be enough to judge this color. 2c.

I drove beside a new Panamera 4 that was, I'm certain, Chalk. It looked great! Reminded of my Linen Grey '89, only a little darker, or more saturated. Beautiful color.

Chalk has a lot of beige in it. Have never seen a cab in that color. A red top would be hideous.

I saw one about a month ago, and it was stunning!
Here are a couple of shots I took (although they fail to convey how special the color feels):

Agree, chalk goes well with black top but as virage said photos may not do it justice but then I saw a chalk boxster few weeks ago and it kinda looked dirty/dull in overcast weather . chalk and carmine red are both premium colors cost wise , not sure which is the most striking as my friend has to soon decide which way to go . He went to see these cars in person and none were available in 911 cab form

I will get my chalk cab with black top in two weeks.
I completely agree that you need to see the Color in person for real judgement.

Chalk works quite well with black contrast elements (top, GTS black parts ..)

Another color chalk works well with is navy blue. I gave it very serious consideration before settling on RL with black.......
