Looks like it’s a step closer to the Sterling Silver on C7s.

Sorry detractors. The color is startling, and you only need to look at Ferraris Roma or Aston Martins lineup to see how nice it actually is. If you like SKITTLES COLORS then your out of step with the rest of the world. I will go so far and say this is more Rolls Royce Silver than anything else.

I'm very interested in this color and being able to see it on a full car would be good. Are the formulas the same?

love the depth and change in color in different light... not a big fan of the light blue in it though. It would probably look really good with the blue interior though

Yes, this one is a little disappointing, and I thought it would have darker highlights as well. It is a pretty silver, but it's just silver.

Dont know if the formulas are similar, but by pictures and seeing the wraith in person it sure looks like it.

It has a bit of a blueish hue to it I love it. Also appears to color shift and adjust to ambient colors around the car.

I like it better than blade silver...not as flat and much improved, in my opinion.
Has more depth/body to it. Maybe even a bit of pearlescent.
And yes, it matches my hair color! LOL
If its still available in 2022, I may just give up my shark gray C7...which color shifts from gray to gold to sand depending on the surroundings and amount of visible light.

Going to have to see this one on a complete car.
Hoping it turns out nice, as silver is my first choice.

After seeing the renders, I was a bit surprised to see how bright Flare Silver really is. It is not much different in shade to the Blade Silver. But I get the impression from these pics that it (Flare) is more of a true silver color, and looks more like the actual metal. That is giving it the ability to shift by reflecting the surrounding colors (gold from the sun, blue from the sky, almost like a mirror in the pic reflecting the people in front of the panel, and how much the blue disappears withing a direct shadow). I wanted my '21 2LT to look like liquid metal going down the road. Seeing these pics and the flake in that paint, I think I will love my car. Just got a little more impatient.
