Default What new interior color should Chevrolet add to C8?

According to everyone's favorite and most reliable source of Corvette information, GM Authority, among the "refresh" items for the C8 coming for 2024 will be introducing new interior color options. So far, since its introduction, C8 has seen the number of interior color options - not combinations and not including "white" on the still-can't-get 70th Anniversary pkg - shrink (buh-bye, Morello Red, we hardly knew ye).

So what will be added, and/or what would you like to see added?

I love my '22. I went with black interior for my HGM HTC and I love it, and everything else about the car. I have no options I pine for or wish I had chosen in my build. But...if GM made Kalahari and/or Brownstone interior available, I'd trade in my '22 and build my car over again identically but adding Kalahari or Brownstone, either of which would (IMO) look great with nearly every currently available paint color, including HGM.

Obviously Chevrolet offers one "brown" already. But so what? For 2022 Cadillac offers FOUR different brown/tans/beiges on the XT5 (Cirrus, Sedona, Kona, Maple Sugar). I'd love to see a darker brown, like a Kalahari or Brownstone, in my HGM HTC..

I’m with you on those colors! I have Natural Tan and other than internet pics at that time, I was unable to find one wi NT before I had placed my order. Was hoping it would have been darker (although not complaining) but would certainly prefer a darker shade.

I like the bottom (saddle) would look great in a red or black C8. Don't care for the top as the fake suede reminds me of the 'super-fly' pimp mobile interiors of the 1970s.

I would've just liked blue stitching as an option with the black interior. Never understood why red and yellow were only stitching options unless you ordered the blue on blue interior.

A black/blue combo would be cool too. I'd love a black interior with the highlights being the darker of the two blues (twilight) in the tension/twilight interior.

I didn't want to say that and risk offending those who LOVE Natural...but I can say if Kalahari had been an option for '22 I would have chosen it, but didn't chose Natural...and I like Kalahari enough that I'd trade my black interior '22 to get it in a '24!

I see that too. I have seen and sat in the Brownstone interiors and they are quite a bit nicer than I thought they would be for exactly the reason you state...but I think there's a reason Kalahari endured for many production years while Brownstone "faded" (pun intended) away quickly after its 2014 appearance.

You raise a good point. Adding more thread color choices would be a nice addition for 2024.

But I want Kalahari, please, GM, if you're reading this...

I hear ya!

I couldn't see them offering both Natural and Kalahari...But I love Kalahari as well and hoping they bring it back!

I forget the name of the bright blue but I'd like to see that two tone with black.

So black and navy?

Not a fan of full two tone interiors as opposed to the seats but



As for me, I think an orange could be really nice. Only works on a few colors and all the shades though, would override on the rest. Especially with the coming Z06 orange calipers, if there isn't an option for interior and stitching like this at some point I'd be surprised.


That or we can just invert Morello red entirely (Has been done on a 3rd Gen Camaro)




If anyone has any other ideas I can mock them up, just tag me.

Blue and orange stitching is the obvious answer. I personally would like Tension Blue dipped!

Kalahari for new. Bring back Morello Red. The most elegant interior color offered.

A ceramic or light tan interior would be great.

White would be okay, similar to 70th, something like that would be fantastic.
