I am just about ready with the options... now the only thing to decide is the color



Pro Crayon: "special" color. Could be seen as "dull" after a while?
Pro Gentian: cheaper than Crayon. More "colour" without being "too extreme"

I know "gustibus et colorizes..." but still a POLL :)

Hard to make a mistake here but I had a Gentian Blue Macan S a few years back. On a daily basis, I was amazed at the depth of that color. The tough thing about Gentian though is that it not forgiving when it comes to being even a little dirty.

I may be a bit biased... I was actually debating mamba green or neptune blue for the longest time. Then I went to the dealer to see what colors they had around the lot. Crayon with blackout wheels was ordered soon after. Must see it in person to appreciate it i think as it may show on the brown or gray side very much depending on current light. Very interesting color though

Between those two only: definitely Crayon... without any doubt.

I was seriously considering chalk and ultimately went with Dolomite Silver. Chalk really looks stunning. I thought Silver would be more timeless and I was not sure if chalk which you see everywhere now may be more of a passing color which will look outdated over time. Still love chalk but have been very happy with my Dolomite CT.

That is exactly my concern as well. chalk is definitely nice but in the longer run maybe not as timeless as other colors.

Well, Porsche describes it as "Chalk is a light grey throwback to 1950s and early 1960s colors like Pearl Grey and Heron Grey." So I think it is a more classic color than we think ;)
