I agree, there was what I thought a chalk macan next Street over and they looked different to me - older guy who owned wasn’t really interested in chatting , maybe he bought it used And was under the impression it was chalk …def doesn’t look like chalk to me, just made me more confused as I’ve been obsessing about choosing the correct color for me before my freeze date on about a week or so…
I'd wager he didn't spec the car and the salesman told him it was chalk. Chalk has no blue in it. It can look a little washed out in certain light, but it doesn't pick up a blue tint. If you Google Taycan Chalk you won't find a single picture that looks like that car.

These are metallic white , that has a blue hue …(top sample), looks either silver or metallic white ….whatever it is , it looked fantastic in person.

Add me to the “that’s not Chalk and probably is Ice Grey” club. I own a Chalk CT4 and it has never looked like that picture in any light conditions.

Saw this parked today , didn’t realize this was chalk as it has a blue hue to it. Fantastic color, but chalk looks very different on macan….?? Almost making me rethink my decision on metallic white although I saw one today drive by for first time too and it looked beautiful …there’s a few around Chicago(visiting here for few days). All these colors look so much different in person …

Why the mamba green non-CT in your PFP?

That’s my Mamba Green CT4 that was lost at sea with Felicity Ace. RIP

I’m still waiting for the replacement due to battery and parts delays.

Mine is Ice Grey and that pic definitely looks Ice Grey.

Ice Grey has the blueish tinge to it, chalk/crayon has the beige tinge.

Looks ice grey which has a blue hue to me. Maybe the owner is an idiot or was told the wrong thing. Chalk had a brown or beige hue. Here are the two side by side on two turbo S. The only way that is Chalk is if your camera settings are off

This is cosmetically the exact spec I ordered! Down to the black window trim, mirrors, and 20" aero wheels! Good taste!

I don't really like the 20" aero wheels either. I use them with the winter wheels. That's why I have the 20" Tequipment Design in the summer. They weren't available the first time it was installed.

Those are nice too. What don't you like about them? I think they were the best choice for the price. My favorite are actually the spyder 21", which similarly were not available when I ordered the car.
