Just Look over the fence at Cadillac. Same colors for 2017 including the Brown/Bronze

Very similar to Carlisle Blue from a few years back.

I was just on a "Chat" with GM, and the girl commented that the new Sterling Blue is VERY similar to the Camaro's Arctic Blue Metallic. I was definitely going with Blade Silver for my 2017 purchase, but this new color has potential. If it shows the Vette's lines like the BSM does, then it might just be my color.

I thought there was going to be a different DARK blue.

Well, GM has to save money - so they use the same colors for Cadillac, Camaro, and Corvette ............... but with different names.

Although I have never liked a particular color they released, this is the first time I have seen them release a non-distinctive color. It really is non-distinctive. That is a fact, not an opinion.

Hmmm.... I didn't see colors for a vette - I saw colors for a Camaro! What's the deal? Is there any guarantee that new Camaro colors will also be available on the 17 vette?

I didnt like the Carlisle Blue at all and this Sterling Blue looks pretty similar. But, I think first, I need to actually eyeball the new colors. Sometimes photos don't give us the true picture ...

And while I am on this rant, Jet Stream Blue was amazing. I had a chance to buy a 2010 Z06 in JSB with dark gray Spyders wheels (forget what they called that gray). OMG, she was a beauty
