Default What colors would you like to see offered in the future?

I love the expanded palette offered on the new C8. Obviously, as the years go by and new models are offered, so will new colors appear. Do we think Chevy will continue take a less conservative approach to what colors they will offer?

What additional colors would you like to see?

I'd like to see green like Porsche Lizard Green, the 1967-only Lynndale Blue, and maybe War Bonnet Yellow.

Shark or Watkins Glen for the grey. I don’t like taking care of matte finishes, but matte orange would probably force my hand.

British racing green or equivalent. PANTONE 3537 C is pretty close. Would look great with the premium natural interior. All sports cars should have this color combo option IMHO.

Something along the lines of Porsche Lapis blue, and/or Corvette's own LeMans Blue.

I also agree they should get creative with some greens. Something wild, and even something muted like Chevy's own Mystic Green Metallic.

Bring back Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat. Also a green of some sort. Butternut yellow from the '60's?? Like satin/matte finishes. Too much to ask for an extra cost option for custom finishes???
