Default 2020 Sebring Orange Tintcoat same as 2019?

This may be an obvious answer to some but this is my first Corvette and I want to see this color in person before finalizing my choice. I am assuming it is, but can anyone confirm if the 2020 SOT is the exact same color that is offered in the 2019 C7?

Thank you. This is what I was hoping for. There is a local C7 in this color that I will go check out tomorrow.

Let me know what you think of the color.
I have not done my build yet but this is also my number one choice so far.
Thanks Tom

This is my favorite color by far. I was able to see it on the c8 in person on the tour. I know its the same color but it looked so much better to me on the c8 as compared to the orange z06 close to the c8 in the showroom. I wasn't crazy about the gray interior with the orange.

I liked the color, but for some reason I don't think I want it. I think maybe it is because I will have black wheels and something about a black and orange car makes me think jack-o-lantern. I'm also mental and can't make up my mind on color so there is that.

Default It is sharp

I saw this car in orange in July at the dealer reveal in Atlantic City. Wow, this car shows well in this color! I would never likely own an orange car but this color on the C8 had me tempted! I went blade silver w black wheels and red interior and calipers.

Saw both at tour at the dealership c7 out in the sunlight, and to me even in pictures looks like the c8 might have more metallic flake? Or perhaps it's the lighting or the body panel shape of the c8?

Default Not production line cars

The cars on the tour I believe were hand built so the paint on these cars may not have been done in the same way line cars are? Others noted the blade silver on the C8 also looked different? Or perhaps angles on C8 are reflecting differently?

Here in Austin, Texas, Orange is popular because of the University of Texas team uses burnt orange. The Sebring Orange is brighter, but still popular. My C7 is Laguna Blue, so I wanted a different color for the C8. The combination of black and orange look good together, so I also ordered carbon flash spoiler, mirrors and sueded seat inserts.

I love the Sebring Orange color and was originally going to order it, but I decided to keep my 2019 GS as a dedicated track car and did not want two of the same color. So I went with Rapid Blue.

I took delivery of one of the first C7s painted in Sebring Orange in January 2018. I absolutely love the color after living with it for 2 years now. It never gets old.

When I got my Atomic Orange C6, I noticed how close it was to my UT baseball cap that I frequently wore in the car when the top was off. People would ask me about the car's color and I would tell them that Chevy had a special deal with UT; only alumni could get this color. I was surprised how many people accepted that story without question. All Texas tales are believable up here.

I’m in Dallas and slightly dreading the “Are you a Texas or Oklahoma State fan” questions. I’m an OSU fan, but THE OSU 😀. Wife said no to red with gray interior, so no sports affiliation for me. Just loud/bright beauty.
