Crayon

Above got any real life pictures of crayon... ideally with anthracite wheels. Be great to see... worried it’s too beige

I’ve had crayon on my GT3 and my current 718 Spyder. I think it really suited the GT3, I’m less keen on it on the Spyder if I’m honest. These are obviously real life pictures but the phone I took them on and the monitor you’re using etc etc will affect the colour - best to see it in the flesh if you can as I don’t think it photographs that well. Hope they help!

Crayon looks epic on 911’s with contrasting bits of black to break it up - really is a stunning colour. On Macan’s IMHO it’s a big no and agree on Spyders / GT4’s it’s nice but IMHO , not quite as nice as a 911

it looks beige/brown if there isn't much sunlight.

Posted this pic on another thread recently where someone was looking at Sport Classic Grey and Crayon

All these pics of it not looking brown are either in sunlight or in a detailing bay. Cloudy day I think it's got a brown tint...which I guess the OP does too because he asked the question !

Crayon is an odd one - and has never quite achieved the wider popularity it could have, if it was just a bit darker/stronger.

In some markets it is called ‘Chalk’, and therein lies the problem - it’s a bit too pale, and in some light it looks almost white with a tint of grey or beige.

In photos it can be edited to look darker - closer to Fashion Grey - but it really should have been done at the Factory, by the man in charge of the paint mixer.

No sunlight. Standard day. Still not the same as seeing one in the flesh.

Thanks All. V useful. And now - which wheel colour do most people think best - black, anthracite or silver?

Thanks for all pics. Useful to see ‘normal’ pics rather than press shots

In the right light you can see a light bronze hue

I wonder if we see colours differently D, as I honestly have never thought this - to me, on the right size car , with black accents it’s one of the most stunning couloirs Porsche have done for ages.

Not as nice as Abarth Campovolo Grey - but very close
