I think I've never seen a bad shade of blue on a Corvette. I like it!

maybe it's my computer (although I don't think so because my car shows up on my computer about what it looks like in person), but those color swatches don't show up very well. Supersonic blue and Cyber Grey don't look anything like what I see on the cars.

I know what the carbon flash looks like because we've seen pics of the special edition, but I can't get a handle on what the blue is going to look like. It looks very "girlie" in the picture you posted.

I'm sure the Carlisle Blue will look decent on the Vette, but I would have rather seen a dark blue.

A shade of green would be a good option.

Should have included Blue Topaz Metallic and Polo Green. Seems like its same colours every year.. black, white, orange, red, yellow, silver and some type of *light* blue.

Remember, that is ALL of the Chevy cars...not just the Vette. Dave has highlighted which colors will be available on the Corvette

So GM is offering brown cars in 2012 but no green cars?

Wow.

Another dull, uninspired color.

The Ice Blue in currently available on 2011 Chevy Cruze, Equinox and Traverse. I think you can get it on a 2011 GMC Denali as well. Its a very light silvery blue if that makes any sense.

What? No 41U traditional black? Only Carbon Flash black?

I can see a few people not being happy with that.

Thanks for posting Dave.
