Most makers don’t give a choice, it is black. It gets mega-boring IMO
My preference is, therefore, to choose anything but black if available ;)

The chalk won’t get as hot in the sun so will be nicer to sit on when you first get in and the climate control will waste less electricity getting the cabin to temperature.

The one thing that catches my eye on both of those options is the red seatbelt sockets. Have you considered red belts to contrast with the monotones? If you want a 2-tone interior with a light exterior, I personally would prefer red to chalk (sorry, I appreciate that you'll have whittled the options down to a shortlist, but I find the overall black/white combo a bit too cold).

Get the light interior. You will appreciate it a lot due to the glass roof. It remains quite cool and very tolerable, compared to black.

If you ever wear jeans, do not get chalk seats. Speaking from experience.
That was a concern of mine but I've had the chalk interior now for a year and a half with no issues. I didn't even seal it. I think in this case that concern is overblown.

White is the new black for car interiors. And the Taycan still has enough black along the sides for a good contrast. I am very happy with my interior which is about the same. I wish I had sprung for blue colored belts (to match the exterior) but since that doesn't impact performance it was a lower priority in my budget.

Not overblown for me. I've seen quite a bit of blue transfer onto the seats.
My detailer was able to get it out after multiple attempts, but warned me this kind of thing is frequently permanent.

I try to wear khakis now.

Yup - I had a chalk interior before and the colour transfer from blue jeans was really bad. Had to constantly scrub the seats with a leather cleaner

To my eyes, chalk gives too much contrast with black. You may have excluded bordeaux (red), but that was my choice and I like it very much.

Don't know if you are aware of it, but choosing 18-way seats in front and three seat positions in back makes the seatbacks not match. If you need three positions you need them, but the two-position backs have the same design as the 18-ways (sadly with the disadvantage that the back loses the separate mid fold section).

I looked at both those options and then went for red interior ...... No regrets at all with the Ice Grey

Out of those two i would go Black for sure

I have an Ice Grey ST, black interior and bordeaux red belts. Beats the chalk colour in my view.

Thank you for your opinion.
I would seriously consider the Racetex (alcantara) as per GTS with red stitching. It breaks up the black.
