Whoever took the picture did not compensate for the bright highlights (background) thus the 'shadow' areas (most of the car) are dark... I did some compensation and the green shows more correctly>>

I feel the opposite. The green is too dark. This car is new & flashy and nothing about the colour says thats. Would have much rather seen Inferno Orange or some other colour that pops out.

I agree w. Michael, C6First. I've seen the hood up close inside, under strong lights. The color is close/closer to a "medium" green color than a dark green. I would bet in direct sun it will look quite medium green. Nice ,tho.

Since there is no rock called "lime rock" or green called lime rock, it does refer to Lime Rock race track.
It does not have to be a some metallic, light green color.
And since there is no green in Lime Rock race track's logo, the color of green can be any shade or hue. And it is!

Dont like the color... One of those boring GM colors that never sells well and ends up being a "one year only" color because no one orders it.
Dark green never seems to sell well..... They should have picked a better color to replace it with... If they wanted to add a Green, it should have been an exotic bright green to go with the exotic new design of the car.
The wheels are the BEST part of the pic.. The wheels look good.
That color keeps making me think it belongs on a Ford Explorer.

Very Nice!!! I would seriously consider LRG with a tan interior if I were ordering a new Vette.
Something to be said for choosing a color that you do not see at every corner.

I have been the biggest supporter of the C7 top to bottom right up to about this point.......I agree....The rims design isnt flattering the overall cool nature of the car.....so many after market rims have made this car pop already in Photo shops....One of the best manufacturer rims I have ever seen stock is the Audi A5 S line I had....gorgeous rims....Oh,well............LG 1 3/4 headers, corsa exhaust, programming and YES rims will be on the list.
