I think another current GM color that would look great on the c8 is Nitro Yellow from the Camaro and Caddys. In person it has a ton of character.

Discussing car colors is such a subjective and highly personal topic. Like, do you prefer blondes or brunettes? Ginger or Maryanne? I love Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic with the Morello Red Dipped interior, but, clearly, I was and am in the minority. I do like the Deep Space Metallic and I also liked the Night Race Blue, either one of those colors would be a great addition to the C8 color options.

They need to re-introduce colors like Carlisle Blue, Black Rose Metallic, or Sterling Blue Metallic... Its a Corvette - it should have (more) gorgeous paint options...

Looks better than the current yellow I'll say that.

That purple is too family car conservative where a more radical, brighter or bolder shade of purple fits the C8.

I coincidentally just ordered this pair of Pit Vipers with a purple tint (Pit Vipers are a memetic fashion trend in another community I follow). I picked the Voltage model because its frame's white crackles look like that on the Mandalorian's Darksaber (a reference to my C8's subtle Mandalorian theme).

I'd love a super metallic sapphire blue with that reflectivity but this is Chevy. I somehow doubt we will ever see something like those. I'm just hoping for the best of what Chevy might offer us lol.

There have been some really good deep emerald metallic greens posted but GM's bean counters will never go for it. They wanna use colors across the whole brand usually, it seems.

The only colors I would choose over Sexy Red Mist are Lime Rock Green or Admiral Blue.

That dark green a couple posts above is really striking.

The color is also on the Blazer EV as “Galaxy Gray Metallic” it has a light hue of purple in it. Not bad at all in the sunlight.
