All I know it's the best color out there to me.

It'lll probably be discontinued as no one really buys it. Roughly 1200 are made each year.

I also had a surprise when I saw the color of my C8 on the build sheet...Everyone was calling it 'Blade Silver, but the build sheet had "Switchblade Silver "..

Almost all GM paints have both an internal name, generated by the paint company, and an marketing name. Often the same paint is marketed with different names on different cars.

It can't be unique, special, outstanding, if everyone has it.

Would be nice if they were consistent with their naming of the paint colors.
