Make a guess at new colors for 2018!
Does anyone want to make a guess as to what new colors will be introduced in 2018 and what colors will be dropped?
My guess is:
Additions:
Inferno Orange
Polo Green Metallic
Quasar Blue
Deletions:
Sterling Blue (already deleted)
Black Rose Metallic
I also think we will see 1 or 2 new interior colors, cashmere being 1.
We will find out in a few weeks!

Good question! If they do an interior color deletion I'd have to go with the lowest production/selling, either blue or dark gray. But, Harlan slipped at Sebring and said Cashmere instead of Kalahari and also mentioned having some lighter color interiors.

Pearl white would be interesting. I think it would look good on this body. I'd love to see a metallic black too! But for sure we need some brighter colors, the current pallet is awfully dark IMO.

For sure it will be some sort of white metallic that rivals Ferrari for paint quality and wow factor.
I say this as I've ordered an arctic white 2017 and metallic white is the only new color that would make me regret my decision. So you can bet on it.

I will throw in my 2 cents.
Colors: Pearl White, something along the lines of Supersonic Blue, but with more pop, something in the medium to darker brown family - brown is all the rage in suv's right now & medium gray - similar to shark gray without the brown tint.
Interiors: something closer to cashmere instead of Kalahari; a gray in between dark gray and the current gray, with darker carpets, and maybe a two-tone with white seats.

Interior-wise I'd like to see Spice Red available on all models...not just 3LT. And make Adrenaline Red available on Admiral Blue cars....bought an Admiral Blue with Black interior and I'll probably end up putting splashes of red inside.
Cashmere sounds nice in place Kalahari too...

I don't think they will axe kalahari in favor of cashmere.Kalahari is a medium color that goes with a lot of the exterior colors. Cashmere in most of its iterations is really too light. If they need a truly light color they could redo white, surely a classic Corvette color.

Green or orange would be nice... but 2 more shades of metallic gray is probably more likely.

Thinking it's time for an Orange again! Perhaps a lighter shade of blue again!

I read earlier there will be 12 colors for 2018, so that means 4 new ones or maybe more based on deleted colors?
Either way, I'm hoping they add a true, bright red metallic, a white metallic that's a true white and not an off white, a new green, and a new orange.
They've already dropped Sterling Blue and I expect Black Rose to be a one year color as well. If they do add a new red, they may also drop Longbeach Red after a two year run.
