I was intrigued by this color but when I saw it in person at my dealer on a Taycan I felt is was a bit “too elegant” for the GTS and not worthy the extra money.
This is why I sticked with Pure White, to make it as raw as possible.

Differences in color already apparent, even with the factory photos. Can't wait to capture more in real life.

Default Ice Grey 992 GTS

Like many said, pictures don’t do the color justice! I’m a Chalk lover, and up until I specced my car, that was ~90% certainty going to be my choice and 10% shark blue. But last minute I got my allocation after someone backed out and Ice Grey Metallic was a brand new option. I agonized over the color choice and in the end I chose it without ever seeing the color in person or on a 911, aside from the new GT3 RS (which was my inspiration
for my spec).

Even when my Porsche salesman sent me a video of my new car I thought I may have made a terrible mistake. Well I’m happy to say in person, the color is gorgeous, and I couldn’t be happier I made the choice. To each their own, but here are some photos for those in my position, I’m so happy I chose it for what that’s worth.

Looks great. Clear corners would look great too on it.

Thanks! Right there with you. I bought the clear corners at pickup (those were pickup pics) but didn’t take my baby home unfortunately- it’s with the PPF shop for another week. They’ll pop the corners on when they do the front PPF/CC/Tint

Looks white to me, I'm sure it's just the lighting

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​you’re not wrong! It’s like Chalk had a (metallic) baby with pearl white!

​​​​​​​The color Chalk has a clear brown tone - similar to Cafe Latte, whereas Ice Gray has no brown tinge at all, but a blue tinge.

The more pictures I see of it the more I'm happy I went with it. At first I wanted chalk but it's been so overplayed I was happy to see Ice Grey as a new option.

God that color looks fantastic.

I have a Chalk 992 and am now wishing it were Ice Grey Metallic.

Chef's kiss to the pairing with those red accents. Looks fabulous.

Porsche Fremont? I was there on Saturday talking with your sales guy while snapping pics of your car. We both commented on how great this looks in person. Much more pearlescent quality to the paint than I'd realized before seeing your spec. Beautiful car, congratulations!!
