For those considering Crayon and who haven't yet seen the colour themselves, I took a picture of the newly-arrived Crayon sample from my local OPC alongside a Farrow and Ball colour chart (your other half will have one if you've ever done up the kitchen!). In my view Crayon is very close to "Manor House Grey" although in darker conditions it has a touch of "Plummett" (!)

This has got to be the best looking so far! Not a fan of black wheels to " Essex boy racer" for my liking,hide the wheels shape and attract dirt, got to be silver or platinum IMHO !

Yes, it looks like cwm.

Those are the best vid's I've seen! Thanks for posting. You're doing a great job as Social Media Consultant for the GT3 threads!

Still trying to find some good shots of Crayon with black wheels and steels.. I have seen the dutch vid, the museum shots and the Spin shots..

No doubt one will be along soon.

I think it looks greyer when under overcast skies and more cream under sun...??

I don't think you can get a bad colour on a GT3. Crayon personally for me would be towards the bottom of the list.. but then I haven't seen it in the flesh.. so might like it in person. Miami Blue I thought looked horrendous on a Cayman at an OPC, but on Sunday went to another OPC for a ganders as was passing and saw a 991.2 C4S in Miami and thought it looked really really good. If it wasn't for Miami being £2k+ I think I would change my order to it.. but need to keep costs sensible so I can justify the PCCB's! My 2p is the 991 is a lovely shape and can carry most colours whereas the Cayman and Boxster aren't nearly a pretty shape so more colour sensitive. I'd also really like Carmine red on my car but have this thing in my head it's a GTS colour

Sapphire a nice colour if paired with PCCB's and bright silver rims. Don't like it with platinum rims. OK with black rims. All IMO.

Yellow - looks fantastic on the GT3. Don't like it on the GT4 anymore
