I agree, the machine face wheels look great on this color - as they do on most of the colors. It's not just a zero sum game between black and chrome - with silver, machined face and spectra grey available.
And that's before you even get to the infinite level of tints available on powder coating either the stock wheels or available on aftermarket wheels. I always chuckle at the black v. chrome debate - as there are soooo many other options available than just those two (granted, most aftermarket). GM, frankly is behind and playing catch-up on tinted wheels that aren't black.

I predict this color is going to be the Limerock Green of 2017. A great color, but probably won't sell well and will be gone by 2018.

It reminds me of the oranges and lime rock green in that it looks great.....but I could never bring myself to buy it. Black, blue, and gray will look good in 10 years, not sure about Black Rose. Maybe the purple flavored C4 reference is pushing my away.

Truth is,.. just about any color would look good on the C7.
Hope when they finish the new plant paint shop they'll offer more colors to buyers... I'd like to see some good looking pearl colors offered as well.
Heck,.. even a few Special Edition colors offered for a Limited 1 or 2 year run would be great... A few special edition colors offered for a limited time would give buyers a larger range of colors to pick from and help keep things fresh.

Here's mine with chrome wheels, which I think really make this color pop. A work in progress. Please ignore the rust colored hubs.

I liked Limerock Green, figured it a one year color and decided against it. Not as keen on Black Rose Metalic. Interestingly my dealer says there is more demand for Limerock Green now than when the color was being produced.

To me it looks like purple by another name. Not sure why GM seems to always offer something in the purple range, I have never been a fan. But I guess that's why there are so many colors. Something for everyone.
