Why do so many folks have to voice their subjective choice as being an accurate fact for everyone? I just don't get it..."out of style". Maybe according to you. But here is another way to look at it.
Color is subjective and someone liking any color makes it very much in style for them.
Regarding the new Zeus Bronze: Sure it will be low volume and a short run. Why; because most folks don't like change, or anything away from the usual more popular colors.
Those who order it will get an elegant 'Euro GT' look that will be very unique on a Corvette, and stand out with class in a sea of red, white, black, and grey vehicles.
Of course many don't care for it, but I can tell you this. I spent a couple of hours with one at Road America last summer and most of the large crowd found it to be stunning with the Pewter wheels and natural interior. I heard almost constant glowing praise, even from many who didn't want to order it because they preferred their Corvette to look more 'boy racer', with stripes, wings, and wild colors.
Just like the green C7, this will be special down the road a few years.

Saw this color in person at Carlisle, looked good to me...not sure I would order it, but maybe. I agree with the "Elegant Euro GT look", that is exactly the impression I got in person.

I ordered mine in this color with 2 tone natural/black. Didn't like the wing so opted to delete the z51 package off my order. JerriVette describes this color combo perfectly, it is elegant.
I love the fact most people don't like it and won't be ordering it. Fell in love with this color day 1 and will have no regrets.

OK...so now do you feel better about yourself....having made a subjective comment and presented it as though it's a fact???? Blasting that kind of anger on a auto forum, WOW, hope you can find calm somehow.

Are people only allowed to present opinions you agree with. Does complaining about other's opinions make you feel better about yourself? I hope you can realize not everyone likes the same things and that is ok.

Because they are low-class, ignorant, bitter, old men with major insecurity issues that simply can't understand that colors, models, options, etc. are SUBJECTIVE things. The introduction of the mid engine C8 gives these keyboard warriors something more to do than just yell at little kids who wander onto their lawns.
All they do is perpetuate the Corvette owner stereotype. At least they will be dying off soon, and maybe we can be rid of them for good.
There are a lot of people's choices displayed that aren't my personal favorites; some I even think are questionable. However, I'm mature enough to keep my objections/dissatisfaction to myself unless asked for my opinion. A lot of the choices are ones I like, but just wouldn't want on/for my car.
I think Zeus Bronze is a gorgeous color, and matching it with the dipped Natural interior in a non-Z51 makes an amazing GT cruiser. Not my thing, but I do appreciate where the OP and some of the other posters are going.

Couldn't agree with you more, except for one point. I wouldn't be too sure that all of these types are 'old men'. Regarding the C8, I can tell you where lots of respectful, and knowledgable men and woman of all ages are comparing notes...midenginecorvetteforum.
