I'm glad Amoni showed me the silver/red coupe. Decided to take that one rather than wait for a 2015.

Blade Silver. Because the other shades of gray, though beautiful, can look too much like the color of the highway you're driving on. After weeks of driving the same car, gray can fast become boring to it's owner. Blade Silver stands out in those cases..
Gray can also be a difficult color to choose correctly. Because it is quickly associated with "Being too light, or too dark". No matter what it on, difficult to match.
Easy to say all three shades are beautiful too. Contrasts well in red too.

It's all about the METALLIC content in the paint with different types of light and angles.Very,very hard car to pick a fav. color.

Addendum 9/7/14: I have to admit I'm really going back and forth on this blade silver vs. shark gray issue and have to make a decision before I order mine around the first of the year.

The shark gray is beautiful, although in some lighting conditions it looks darker than I would have hoped. However, the blade silver sometimes almost looks white! I used to own a Firebird that was a mid-body pairing of silver over dark gray like some of the old C3 Pace Car models were - which I always thought was a perfect color mix (not too much silver).

I just can't help but think that an all-silver car - even with red accents would look pretty bland.

Anybody want to comment?.....

The lighting that makes Shark Gray look best make Blade Silver look white. The lighting that makes Blade Silver look best makes the Shark Gray look a little dark.

Cyber Gray looks so much like the road a bird flew into the side of my car the other day and killed itself. I heard a bang and looked in my mirror to see the little fellow on the ground.

In this post, we have pictures of a 2015 Corvette Stingray convertible in the new Shark Gray (with Kalahari interior and Chrome Wheels) parked in between a 2014 Cyber Gray Corvette Stingray coupe and a 2015 Corvette Stingray coupe in Blade Silver.

See more picture here! Enjoy!

Hi Dave,

Thank you so much for posting this excellent comparison IF you come across any Shark Grey with Jet Black in and/or the new QCC machined rims would you mind posting that too?

I got a convertible in on Friday with black wheels but I forget which wheels. IL. Post a picture either way if the weather allows.

If this is the best you can offer then it's good that you've only posted 10 times in the past 7 years.

I am a owner of a 2007 LBM love the car and styling.Cannot stand the rear on a C7,it shares it with the Camaro.Not unique

Perhaps the key to a good lookin' Shark is tossing in a bit of black (wheels and vents), and red (interior and calipers). What ya think?



2015 Shark Gray, Z51, 2LT.

I feel bad for the folk who wanted cyber gray. It was the best gray I've ever had or seen.

I know Cyber Grey has been gone a while. But who's up for a petition to bring it back. I have black now, but wish I had Cyber Grey. Maybe they'll bring it back for the C8.
