Default Did the C6 paint colors carry over to the C7?

I have yet to see a C7 but I see a ton of C6's every day in LA or Vegas.

I'm trying to imagine what color I want for my car.

When I look at a C6 with say what looks like Crystal red, does anyone know if that's the same crystal red on the C7? Same for the other colors.

I know some cars are new but what about velocity yellow, torch red, cyber gray, etc. Are they the same?

I have been under the impression that they are the same. but you raise a good question! Judging by the cost savings GM likes to achieve I think they are the same.

The colors are all carryovers save for the trading of Atomic Orange for Lime Rock Green and, Supersonic Blue for Laguna Blue.

I've heard that every year or so we're gonna lose the lowest selling color for a new one. I'm hedging bets on Lime Rock Green being discontinued for Atomic Orange and I can see GM bringing back something like Black Rose.

All the colors are the same as the C6, except Laguna Blue and Lime Rock Green. In fact, you can find the same colors on many GM cars, some under different names. For instance, Night Race Blue is called Blue Ray Metallic on the 2013 Camaro. Personally I think GM should have come up with more new colors for the new lines on the C7. They're limited to 10 colors because of their paint facility. Oh well!

At this point, Laguna Blue is exclusive to the C7.
