Default 2024 New Color : Sea Wolf Gray

Currently on MM list for 2024 Coupe trying to decide between Hypersonic Gray and the new Sea Wolf Gray. This is , of course a personal choice. What I'm asking for is any assistance ie pictures showing the two colors in some sort of comparison or something else to help me in the decision. Thanks for your help.

Hypersonic gray is pretty darn sharp. The whole primer gray color is so played.

Hyper Sonic has more of a metallic green tinge to it, I haven't seen Sea Wolf in person yet but my guess is its more of a Nardo grey with a bit of pearl to it.

I'm a black car lover. But the Sea Wolf Gray, Black HTC top, black wing, black boomerang, would look great.
I never liked white cars either but a white HTC with the black accents looks great also.
I tried to deviate from black for ordering a C8. My gut instinct told me to stay with my choice.
A nice feature of the Sea Wolf color is it is unique and probably a 1-year choice.
Follow your gut instinct. Good luck.

I have to agree, I feel like Corvette is a day late and a dollar short on this color. I still like it but wouldnt be my first choice.

Hands down sea wolf gray, to me it’s going to be a really hot color, specially with the carbon flash accents, to bad it wasn’t available for 23 otherwise I would had had a hard time choosing between Rapid Blue and Sea Wolf gray

Neighbor has a similar flat gray Bimmer SUV. Definitely an acquired taste.

gm saves big bucks with the grays, they just spray em with primer, no paint required.

GMs a little late to the Sea Wolf Grey. Everyday I see KIAs and other brands with the color.

I painted my 55 Chevy that color in the mid 60's. No fancy name, just gray primer.

Hypersonic Gray is even more played IMO.

well you could say the same about white and red(s) as well looking at the numbers produced right? I have to say i am personally disappointed in the lack of intriguing colors...i really wanted a blue but rapid feels too light (though my wife loves) and she doesn't like the rip tideblue...hence where i landed on the hypersonic grey....i think the hgm looks better than the sea wolf but i just dont like the flat look honestly or i might like it more...

I would wrap a car in sea wolf gray, but without seeing it in person, I don’t think I could order one. Hypersonic with a tan/black interior was my choice (wife wanted white… wife got white, lol).

I always see green in the Hypersonic Gray. Maybe it’s my imagination but I can’t I see it in photos or in parking lots.
