Long Beach Red does not look like I thought it would here, could be the picture though. Dont like it as much in this picture, but it is only one.

Still in camo. It sounded louder and better than unwrapped C8’s. Cant tell if body is wider.

I voted Rapid Blue but now I'm favoring white over two-tone blue and I'll add red seat belts if the cost isn't stupid.

As of right now, I'm thinking the lighter colors will show off the lines better. I'm leaning towards Arctic White, then maybe Long Beach Red. If I would go darker, then maybe the Gray. I need to see the Bronze in person.

I'm surprised they carried over so many colors from the C7. I understand Torch Red, Black, Silver, and White being carried over as they are a given. I just figured they'd use their imagination and come up with a majority of new colors for a brand new generation.

The paint sample in the road show had a green tint to my eye as well.

I would need to see them in person to decide but the rapid blue looks pretty cool.

Not that I’m picking yellow BUT when it gets seen in the wild I have a feeling some buyers are going to change their builds to it if it’s very metallic like the Sebring Orange flake...

Torch red or Arctic white for me!
I have wanted a Corvette for 30 years. I am buying my first one now. I have always been dead set on Black/Black but I understand your comment. My second choice is white and it does make the curves pop more. Also interested to see how low Black was voted for in the thread where people are voting on their favorite color.

Everywhere you look, you're going to see yourself coming and going in Rapid Blue. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it'll be far from ​​​​​​​unique......
