Default 2023 Available Colors

I'm trying to find somewhere on-line that has some good photos of the available colors for 2023 C8's. Tried the Chevrolet website, and can't seem to find it there. I don't want a list of paint codes or colors, I want to see actual photos of each color. Any suggestions on where to look?

It would also be helpful if I could find somewhere to download the brochure. The Chevrolet site is a tangled complicated mess.

Thanks that helps. I think I finally got the Visualizer on the Chevrolet page to work too. I'm really disappointed in the colors offered. Once again they offer like six shades of grey/silver and very little else. I really wish they would bring back Atomic Orange.

I don't believe caffeine is a color, but what the hell do I know.

I'd love to see them bring back Blade Silver for the Z06. IMO it's one of the best shades of silver GM has ever offered.

Sorry for complaining. There are a couple good colors in there, but sometimes I feel like they get the shade wrong. I'm a bit worn out on the standard black, red, white, silver, and would just like to see some different hues. Maybe a green or a better looking shade of orange or even maybe a magenta. At least the Caffine is a new color, so I'm glad to see it even if it isn't for me.

Buy a black one and wrap it.

The Caffeine Brown Metallic has the most metallic component than any of the other colors (I heard a comment from some GM official). In the shade, or in a garage, or even on a cloudy day, you don't get the advantage of the metalflake; it just looks like a rich reddish-chocolate brown. It is best viewed in bright sun when the sun is NOT right overhead. A lower angle of sunlight on the car completely changes the car from brown to a lively copper-orange when the metalflake is reflected. I believe that most people giving discouraging remarks about "brown" haven't seen the car up close and in the sun.

Since only 385 Caffeine color 2022 C8s were built out of 25,831 C8s, I doubt many have seen the color at all.

There was a caffeine C8 at the museum when I was there. It was outside in the sun. It did not look very metallic… I would doubt that claim. I think the yellow has a heavier metallic look. I did not like the color it’s not an attractive brown but to each his own.

Say what you will about the C8 colors, but it’s definitely not “just” a bunch of greys and silvers. They do offer a good array of colors, just not all of them hit the mark.

I do agree with you here. There could be more options. Head to Range Rover and check out their SV model and you can pick from 30 different colors. Even adding a satin finish option would spice things up.

I'm still probably 10 months away from my build and I still don't know what color to get. There hasn't been one that has really stood out. However, I still like a handful of colors. Maybe when 2024 rolls around we will see another option.

Plus two more for '23 - a metallic white and a carbon flash black on the 70th editions.

Gee, just think...if only Bowling Green had better colors, they could sell out every car they produce! There might even be waiting lists to get one. GM really missed the mark. 🙄

Yep, I completely forgot about the 70th anniversary editions, so that's 14 colors to choose from for 2023.
