It's like they heard thousands of customers begging for a Green C8... then got in a room and tried to figure out what the worst possible shade of green they could use was. What a hideous colour. This isn't what people asked for at all, talk about being tone deaf.

Lmao. I love hearing the different ways people can talk about how horrible this green is. I don't think I've seen anyone mention that they like it yet.

That green pictured looks highly altered. I don't think the real color looks like that.

I hope you are right...because if it actually looks like that the person that made that call needs either a lobotomy or to have either their eyes examined! If it were April 1st everyone would think this has to be a joke...its that bad IMO.

Bring on some dark blues please. Something like a Lapis type blue.

The "chromatic resurgence" is said to be on the way, "in the next few years..."
For those of us that remember the accuracy of "Available in Summer 2022.." phrase, it does not seem to be coming anytime soon. We need it now.

This should have been a thing from day one. The Corvette color palate has been stale for years except for the occasional 1 or 2 year run colors. Rapid, Sebring, Cacti are a great start on C8 but when you look at what the C8's competition offers? All pales in comparison. That Audi above in that green would look wild on a C8 but instead its gray, gray, gray, black, black, Torch Red (needs to go away) and 3 or 4 vibrant colors.
Heck, I can paint to sample a Porsche! Where's the paint to sample C8? If Dodge could pull it off with the Viper the last year or two it was in production, no excuse from GM to offer a low volume paint to sample option.
Instead on here its always "bring back xx color from 65 years ago" but its always a similar color to what they make now which then leads to "no good colors" or they suggest a color that looked good on a C2 or C3 but would look awful on a C8.

I have owned a dozen Vettes but never a red one i would consider one for my new Z car if they would offer something subdued and not flashy. I loved the 2020 red that only lasted one year. No idea y it ended in 2021, thats when I got my c8 and picked out black
