Just some quick pics just before it was getting dark and not raining. Need to clean her up and find a nice spot for some better ones.

From the moment I saw Cacti Green, I said that is the next color I get. I have not seen it in person yet. The nearest dealer to me, around 30 miles away, has one.

What I can't get over is the Artemis interior. I appreciate the additional expansion of interior colors but I cannot see many people choosing that interior. Cacti Green exterior and Artermis interior are just too much green for my taste, I like the contrast. I would never do red on red or blue on blue ext/int combos. I get it will float someone's boat here and there. I can only see maybe white, ceramic matrix, and silver flare as the only other viable options for Artemis interior. I can see this interior color being in low-production numbers.

From what I have seen so far, natural dipped is the best color option for Cacti Green, and the bronze package makes it more striking.

I still have not seen one in person but my sister has and she is in love with it - i believe the one she saw had natural dipped interior.

I agree. Natural or SCG interior. Artemis seems to be a better fit for SWG, HSG, or something; where it leans more gray than green. I was briefly looking at Artemis on AYM, but I think it will also be too green.

I'd probably not go dipped natural. A splash of black here and there inside will match the CF on the bronze graphics, the tires, CF trim pieces, etc. I just wish we had a brown interior option--as that would work even better than a tan one.

I'm with you. If I had a new C8 on my radar, this color is at the top. And, I agree about the interior. There I'd have to play with options.

Also I am having the stock rims powder coated something like an off black color and will put sticker tires on it for the summer month (not months lol) here in WA.

Artemis as someone mentioned it's more like a rich gray. It's gray with some dark olive-green tones as GM refers to it! It not only goes very well with Cacti, IMO that is what GM spent time with designers to find a great interior color to match Cacti. Sure Natural Dipped to also elegant and fits the total package. Had than in my 2020 C8, prefer Artemis! It has more faux suede that I expected, which I like. The light reflection texture difference between Napa Leather, faux Mulan "leather" and suede make them look like color differences, but color is very uniform.

To Each Their Own. If I was buying a Z06 would get Red Mist with whatever interior, perhaps black but for an E-Ray love my choice. Don't care what folks select but here are some Pics of my Artemis and one I just found what GM says about it!

Default Agree. No photo does it justice. Every photo looks different.

Love my Hypersonic Gray with two-tone black/natural but If I were to order a C8 today, Cacti would be my choice. Beautiful vehicle.... enjoy!

Never fear! GM's unimaginative leadership will concoct some other baby-blue, greige or not-quite-black color that will undoubtedly please the same demographic.

I would have ordered it if it was available in metallic. But to each his/ her own.
