Default Orange and Blue C8

Went to a cars and coffee today abx saw this orange and blue C8. The owner said he traded in an orange C6 and his wife had a blue Camero, so they picked orange and blue for the C8. Not what I would choose, but he had a reason.

He might just have one of one there. Not necessarily a good thing.

Not a color combo I would choose, but not my money either.

Another C8 just showed up to the cars and coffee. It's a bit too over the top for me.

I don't hate it. I'd not order that combo, but I like seeing different combos.

I wonder if it glows in the dark? By the plate it’s meant to be a tribute to the movie Tron

my university’s official colors are Orange and blue but I wouldn’t buy an orange and blue car.

maybe if it had a blue stripe or blue calipers

Honestly, the amplify orange is the the only exterior color I would pair with the blue interior. I think it looks good, but that being said Lamborghini has been doing a similar combo for awhile

It needs more blue accents. Stripes and calipers would make it a little more cohesive.

Saw that same combo in Houston last week. Guy said he wanted Houston Astro colors.

With that blue interior there is only 3 combos that works. Rapid blue, White or Ceramic matrix exterior. That’s it.
Everything else is ugly
