Chalk is not the same color at all. In the US it is very light grey almost white.

Here are some much better pictures of that interior in real life and with the dark silver trim:
(both color trims look great in real life, but my Neodyme pics are too large to upload)

Which one is this? Olea leather or the standard chalk beige leather?

In the US this is Olea club leather in "Basalt Black and Atacama Beige":

Just did the Opti-guard Leather on my brothers Taycan yesterday. No issues at all with the OLEA.

Enjoy yours!
What does it cost to Opti-Guard the Olea interior?

I have the black olea club leather. It's very nice. I only spent a brief time at the dealer in a car with the regular leather. I can definitely tell a difference but the regular leather is also nice as well. I came from a macan GTS with full leather in bordeaux red/black and there is a clear upgrade in quality with the olea club. I'm happy with my choice but I suspect I wouldn't be disappointed if my car had the standard leather.
Thanks for your help on this. I was tempted...but I think your review made me go back to normal leather. That should be just fine. ?

I was told that it is a higher quality of leather to start with as well as a different process. Supposedly it is less likely to have any blemishes as well. I’m not sure how much that really matters as I have never noticed a blemish on a car interior before. I chose it anyway but have no idea if it was worth it yet. Hopefully it will be when my car finally arrives.
How do you like it? Was it worth it?
