I have black now and it gets marked up and dirty and chalk will have different issues but I am counting on the leather treatment. . I have had two tone in another car and didn’t get tired of it, but I liked the color. Since we were looking at Panameras I can’t say for certain on the door but would rely on the photo.

Chalk is very light grey in person, not beige. You might want to see it in a car.

One of the strange surprises with my 4S is the chalk interior. To me it looks light grey with a greenish tint. You heard it. Grey with a greenish tint.

Not what I expected. It doesn't look bad but not as good as I was expecting. Very very far from anything I'd consider white or beige.

I knew it wasn't beige and I didn't want that. But was expecting white-grey, not grey-white-green.

Well. I have apparently fucked up. The car I saw in Frankfurt was most likely crayon which I loved and I, an idiot, ordered chalk. Only now that I have the car I realized my mistake.

Well, shit happens. Not a super fan of my car's interior due to this mistake. The chalk looks grey with a green tint. And it's no mistake as it does look like that in the configurator.

It's easier to keep clean so I'll try to look at the positives!

I have seen the Olea Beige and if you like a wow color combined with black seat backs and seats imbedded within a black look in the back seat, I say go for it. I have attached a photo for you to consider. I would think about getting Dark Silver versus the Neodine look as it did look better to me. I have seen the Black/Limestone Beige but in a sample only. I would would be concerned about jean wear on the chalk seat and have heard that you need to get protection for the seat or you will be unhappy.

What type of protection can be used to prevent jean wear? My car has the Olea Club Leather Interior in Basalt Black/ Atacama Beige.

The car I saw at the Frankfurt show was covered with jean stains on the side bolsters. Really looked bad. I would definitely protect somehow.

I thought it was an issue with the Chalk color only. When I was at PEC Atlanta, the person I worked with regarding the car said they only saw it on the chalk/white color. Since I am moving to a 2021 Taycan, I will have to defer to others since my production date got moved so far into 2020, I decided to become an early 2021 adopter.
