Default New DSOM just came in! Check it out with black accents and Z51!

So we ordered an Orange and Black Z51 Coupe, the color is very different from what we've had in the past recently but it is gorgeous in person!

It may be the camera, but does it look like a sun-dried CR?

I see the potential, but yes, seems the pics are a bit cloudy or something. One thing, there will be no mistaking it for a 2014!

That color definitely needs the sun, I mean, it's in it's name for crying out loud!

taking pics it the sun with a higher resolution camera would be a better look.
Still not as nice as A/O.

I think this color will be a lot like NRB and look completely different in various lighting. I have an Ignition Orange Metallic Pontiac G8 GT and it does the same. The DSOM in these photos looks more coppery in tone. I bet in bright sun, with your own eye, it looks stunning.

I really thought the sunrise would be a little brighter than the sunset version of DSOM, but it really looks darker to me. Lighting will show its true variances of color. I like it, but then I may be biased.

Yeah I was fighting the clouds all day but the light was creeping through so I figured I'd give it a shot with my iphone camera. I do love Atomic, but on a bright sunny day this color is pretty fantastic.

I think you need to go to "open with paint" and resize the pictures. They are to big for the screen
Post more photos in the sunlight, I realize you are in the Chicago area and may not see the sun until April of next year, but if you get a sunny day....
