Default Visual Representation of Color Selection

So I was at Super Car Saturdays at the Hard Rock Guitar Hotel and my buddy got a good drone shot of the Corvette section.

I know Silver Flare isn't the most popular color but it is funny to see it visually represented here.

I guess for the fun cars Silver is the unique choice these days? Anyway fun to see all the colorful Corvettes and to all the haters they aren't all red with tan interior and chrome wheels! (nothing wrong if that is your jam)

Silver looks great! Its a toss up between Silver Flare and the Grey for which color shows off the Vette's lines better.

That wasn't even all of them, what's crazy there were 8 Z06's and zero E-Ray's. Haven't seen one in S FL yet, guessing the AWD is not a factor for purchase down here.

I like it for showing the lines and ease to keep clean (my daily driver). I like all colors but it was SFM or Amplify Orange for me.

Lol he for sure got some glares and ended up moving it straight mid way through the event to allow another car to park. I guess some just gotta be "special", you pick the meaning of special here... Corvettes were basically the cheapest car allowed there so don't know what his plan was.

I understand not wanting Silver since there are so many silver cars on the road but I love the fact that you don’t see many SF C8s on the road or at the meets.

I like the black stripes, SF for sure shows the lines like no other color

Funny, I read red and white are the two most popular C8 colors, but I only see two white cars.

There was another row with a couple more but similar distribution of colors. I think being in S FL brings out more bright cars, people down here tend to be more flashy than the average American.

That overhead shot is great.

On a side note my dealer has a Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic on the showroom floor. When I looked at it under the lights I thought it was Artic White. I am color blind to a small degree and when I realized my error I brought a friend to the car and he thought it was Artic White also.

I noticed people at car shows walk right by Orange, Black, Silver, Blue, White, and Red. Then they stop and look at Red Mist.
That color really captivates people.

One of my coworkers has a Red Mist HTC w/black roof and trident wheels. It is one of the best colors for the car for sure. Really shows the body lines well.

Not exactly sure why, Torch Red and Red Mist Metallic are two of the most popular colors for the C8. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. Hardly a unique color that hasn't been seen a bunch of times before...
