Looking at colors with THE SUN at different angles will be the true test of this color.Yes lighting is huge with the metallic content in these clear coats.
Who has seen this color in the SUN??Hale,hale to all the orders before sunshine.To big of a decision

And what is wrong with the 80's? I kinda like those new wheels.

Actually pic 1 and pic 3 is the same light .... I took that pic ....
As in many of the C7 "pics" with different wheels, the wheels can impact the perception of the car color. Its my perception in pics that the light colored wheels look better and many or most times the black wheels don't provide the definition and clarity of separation in pics. They all look good in real light by the eye vs the camera. I like the color of the grey here, but I was let down a little when I had seen it with the dark wheels vs the silver wheels like you see here in the ZO6. Others prefer the dark.

To your point the light does make a big difference. Especially the metallic. In some pics my TR looks bright orange. No one would want the TR when it looks the way it does in some pics.

There are no bad choices I love them all.

COOL...

I thought picture 1 & 3 where at deffent time of the day. in your org. set they look so differnet.

When in BG to see my Shark Gray being built I was supprised by how the color changes in the light. The more sun the brighter it looks and in the overcast of the day when it was moved outside it was much darker than I would guess.

Have to love how things circle back in history. Those black machined wheels look like the machined painted rims on my BMX bike from the 80s! Those were very cool back then. Definitely not liking it on a C7 however. Looks cheap, toy like in my opinion but does scream Chevy.
