What color did GM forget on the 2021 Corvette?
With the new paint shop being able to have a 12-color palate, C8 Corvette owners have their largest selection of exterior colors since early in the C4 generation.
With such a large availability, I am sure there are some Corvette aficionados that would like to see a color forgotten about, a blast from the past!
If you could choose, what Corvette color not currently offered would you like to see on the 2021 Corvette. We’ve always been a big fan of the Light Pewter Metallic (1998-2002) or even the Fawn Beige (1961-1962) like one of the Route 66 cars driven by George Maharis and Martin Milner (a bit of nostalgia from my boss…don’t holler at me, my boss put that in. I told him no one would know who he was talking about).
Also, many high-line manufacturers give the option of a custom paint for ordered cars. Would you like to see a custom paint option and what would you be willing to pay for it?

Night Race Blue. I had that plus Dark Bowling Green Metallic and Cyber Gray. All were outstanding to me. I'm settling for Elkhart Lake Blue this time. It will be more visible to those distracted drivers. Perhaps they will see me in time.

I think night race blue would look classy and elegant on the C8

I have a night race blue '14 and it is one of the classier colors of Vettes I've ever owned.
I'm going with "shadow gray" this time around.
Formerly Daytona blue
Nassau blue'
red (1980)
dark bowling green metallic
speedway white
NR
black

I also think they screwed up the interior colors having Morello red only available as natural dipped. Not sure what reasoning that was.

67 is one of our favorite years in the Corvette Collection. We have two Corvettes (a coupe and a convertible) and 2 Chevelles (a coupe and a convertible).
