Another C4 Color Coming Back ...
... in addition to the already announced return of Admiral Blue for late 2016 and all of 2017 model years, the 2017 order guide (released yesterday) also lists Black Rose Metallic.

"Since colors are a major topic of interest, we’ll go there next. Four new colors are set for the 2017 Corvette. We already told you about the return of Admiral Blue and the new Grand Sport Collector’s Edition will feature Watkins Glen Gray Metallic. The two other new Corvette colors are Sterling Blue Metallic and what appears to be the return of purple to the color palette with Black Rose Metallic. "

I really liked black rose metallic (barney purple), but I would never willingly buy a new car with that color because it is too hard to sell.
They called it 'purple haze' for the 1992 camaro, but I think it was the same color as the vette.

I bought a Black Rose '93 at the end of last year. I've always liked that color. I had a chance to buy a Black Rose coupe back in the mid-90's, but chose a Polo Green 'vert instead. Both are some of the best colors ever offered on C4's.
In '92, there were nearly 1900 Black Rose cars sold, but in '93 the numbers dropped way off to less than 950.
