I’m stuck with what color to choose. I like them all including the cacti one. In my area there aren’t many C8s to see so actually being able to see the color options in person is next to impossible and YouTube doesn’t do it justice IMO. Trying to find out which color makes the body lines and coutures look the best. There are some amazing lines on this car and want a color that makes them pop!
I have Torch Red which continues to be the most popular color choice...I like how it really pops and shows the C8 lines very well with the right lighting...
The C8 body lines love bright colors, which is why I went Accelerate Yellow Metallic. I've had it for over 2 years and still absolutely love it. It's the first bright color car I've owned, but my usual white just doesn't do the C8 justice.
It's a personal taste thing but since you are asking....I think that the darker colors do more hiding of the body lines than the lighter colors. I felt the same way about the C7. FWIW....I never have this problem because I've only purchased white vehicles since 1973.
Red-Mist and Artic-White are the most popular colors.
IMO: They are all great if they have a black top, nacelles, wing, and boomerang.
Go to car shows and compare for yourself.

I get "nice color" compliments on my torch red, you can't go wrong with that. My second favorite it rapid blue but I think it looks better on the convertable IMO.
The other colors get thumbs up from other C8 owners but I think the general public is always going to notice a litte red corvette

To make the body lines pop, it's more about the lighting than the color IMHO.
Pearl white metallic. I’ve always hated white cars, bland IMO. But the combination of pearlescent and metallic in PWM really makes the lines pop. Too bad for you it was a one year color.

I agree, my wife's Ceramic Matrix Grey shows the car better. I still got the Red Mist because it is just so absolutely gorgeous in the sun, but the CMGM looks great under any lighting, the Red Mist loses a bit in the shade. The Artic White is also beautiful, but the lines show better with the CMGM.
I would say the CMGM is underrated.
I had a 22 hypersonic grey and i think that color really shows the lines great. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion which seems many forum members cannot grasp. That being said, the colors that "hide" the lines the most in my opinion are torch red, black, white and yellow. My 2024 HTC will be red mist metallic.
