Default Chalk Interior

I am about to pull the trigger on a Carmine Red E-hydrid sport Tourismo with chalk interior.
Any body got regrets on Chalk interior?
Does it get dirty quickly or stain?
I havent seen chalk interior in person, so is it more white or more light grey?

Thanks

I've had a 2017 Panamera 4S with the chalk/black interior for over a year now, and have not had any problems keeping it clean. I've had a couple of stains, but they all came off easily with a little water. The chalk looks more white than gray to me. I think "chalk" is a very good description of the color. Good luck with your purchase.

I have a 2018 with the Chalk interior and love it. It is more white than grey but definitely not a bright white. No issues at all with cleaning, dye transfer, etc.

Ive had light colored interiors before. Typically on a high quality car, they are very stain resistant and can be cleaning if there is any transfer. Porsche has some of the highest quality interior surfaces, and the seats don't even tend to wear until they are 20 years old so I wouldn't worry too much.

I have had the silver interior on the Audi RS5 and over time it discolors with jeans, but for my Panamera with Chalk, I had the entire inside and outside of the car coated in Ceramic, so the leather will not change color and be protected at a higher level. Costs about $1K to do the interior by a professional.
